- I don't know if there is a good workaround for this or not. When you
- mount a drive under NEXTSTEP, it checks through a set sequence to determine
- what all it is. CD-ROM is something like the second or third thing. HFX is
- the last, I would presume because it is being added to the end of the list, as
- it were. So, if you mount a Mac CD-ROM while Executor is running, it will be
- loaded under NEXTSTEP, which cannot always see all the files on Mac CD-ROMs,
- and thinks everything is a text file, even if it is an application. I've
- solved some of this by rebooting with Daydream, transfering the necessary
- executables to a SyQuest cartridge, rebooting NS, starting Executor, and then
- iserting the SyQuest cartridge, which is then seen by Executor.
