The Macintosh has a Desktop.  It is a weird device that can store anything
and you can't figure out what drive the files stored there are from.
Executor did not program a desktop and is probably right not to.
Nevertheless I think there should be some kind of lowest level of the
disk structure under the drive.  Why?  I, probably like many other
E/D users, have multiple hfv drives.  I also have 4 hard drives (C: - F:)
In order to switch from one hfv drive to another hfv drive I often have
to scroll through all the dos drives.  Since Executor is still quite slow
on opening the big D: and E: drives (dir /w takes more than a page), this
process is cumbersome.

A solution?  If ARDI could make something under the drives, that JUST
contains the drives, no other files, that is created at the beginning
of each session (to include floppies), then we could go down to that.
Then we would select the drive and save.

P.S.: VIM 3.0 now works.  (I did experience some crashes though.)
P.P.S: I have run 2 benchmark tests.  I think if someone created a little
FTP space where we can drop maybe, exported data off, (or text) someone
can create a nice Excel spreadsheet that would hold data to many computers
from many executor users.  I tested my DOS version with UniVBE and without.
Amazingly, I got better results without.  If someone tells me where and
what type to upload, I'll do it.  (And look at some other records too.:-)
Hey, we can even make a web interface.
