122g on ftp.cs.unm.edu (SALE ends in less than two weeks!)



Dear Folks,

It's been a month since 1.2.2f came out.  In that month we got  
Executor/DOS running well enough to send demos to Michael Spindler,  
Andrew Grove, Bill Gates and others.  Part of the work was a new  
interface and some more bug fixing of HFS_XFer.  In addition we  
finally got Executor/NEXTSTEP to print on a wide variety of non-NeXT  
printers.

There are still a few bugs that we'd like to fix before we release  
1.3, but I'd like to hear from you if you know of any reasons why we  
shouldn't ship 1.2.2g to everyone as 1.3.

You can pick up 1.2.2g from ftp.cs.unm.edu.  I'll be putting it on  
cs.orst.edu and nova.cc.purdue.edu if space permits.

BTW, the sale ($99+shipping educational, $149+shipping  
non-educational) will end August 31 (we'll accept purchase orders  
received up 'til then; FAX them if you have to).  The new prices will  
be $249 and $499 respectively.  The price increase reflects the Intel  
support and the fact that on a 486 Executor is definitely a niche  
product.

BTW, if you read the changes from 1.2.2f section of the new README  
file you'll see a bunch of bug fixes related to MacPaint, MacDraw,  
Cricket Draw, and FileMaker Pro.  None of those are "usable" yet, but  
we're making progress on each of them.  In addition I'm sure that  
tons of stuff that wouldn't run under 1.2.2 will now get further.  We  
really are doing pretty well over here ... except for the lack of  
money.
