- Ardi might want to look at King's Corner, available in the card
- games directory on simtel to degub a few graphics routines under
- SVGALIB on linux. Running in 16 color mode at 640x480, grabbing
- a card and moving it around very quickly can sometimes leave unerased
- card 'sections' on the screen. Also, the game background color changes
- as the card is dragged.

- A few mac emulations points. (1) If you click in the menubar and move
- the mouse down before the menu appears, the menu won't appear until
- the mouse is returned to the bar. On a mac, the menu will always
- drop down. (2) Some of the navigation keys are missing from the
- File Selection box. <TAB> on a mac will cycle disks. I don't remember
- whether executor gets this one right or not. CMD-<up arrow> will
- jump to the parent directory on a Mac.

- Canvas 2.0 under X crashes with the following error when the cursor is first
- moved:
- executor: XError `8': BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
- X_CreateCursor
-
- It runs OK under SVGALIB, but the cursor is briefly replaced by a 16x16
- (or so) black square. I think Canvas is trying to blank the cursor.
- In any event, executor generates an invalid cursor under X in this case.
-
- Finally, Photoshop 3.0.4 still dies with a "Disk error" message
- after the message "Measuring memory". I've tried giving it as
- much memory as 64M.
-
- Keep up the good work!
