- 1.99q7 is a "bleeding edge" update for 1.99q. You must already have
- 1.99q or later installed before you can install the 1.99q7 upgrade.
-
- 1.99q7 is now available in the subdirectories of
- ftp://ftp.ardi.com/pub/BleedingEdge/ and its primary mirror,
- ftp://vorlon.mit.edu/pub/ardi/BleedingEdge/. Other mirror sites will
- pick it up within the next few days. Once most mirror sites have
- 1.99q7, we'll update our WWW pages so you can download 1.99q7 directly
- from the ARDI web site.
-
- New in 1.99q7:
-
- - Numerous disk problems are fixed, mostly under DOS.
- Floppies, CD-ROMs, and SCSI devices are all affected by
- these fixes. Hopefully users that needed "-nosound" to
- access floppies reliably will find that is no longer
- necessary.
- - Obsolete command-line arguments have been removed.
- - A bug forcing some Executor/Linux users to use
- "-checknet 0" has been fixed.
- - More printing bugs are fixed.
- - We eliminated performance slowdowns introduced in 1.99q6
- (graphics and floating point).
- - We fixed a cursor bug preventing OpenProlog from working.
- - Executor now chooses better default memory settings for
- OS/2 Warp users.
- - Executor now avoids SoundBlaster-related hangs that were
- causing trouble on some systems.
-
- In addition, DOS users can now say:
-
- executor > crashlog
-
- and, if Executor crashes, the traceback information will get written
- to the file "crashlog". No more worrying about that information
- scrolling off the screen! Emailing such traceback information to
- bugs@ardi.com may help us track down why Executor crashed.
-
- As always, we appreciate feedback. We are especially interested in
- feedback pertaining to disk access problems under Executor/DOS.
