Bug Report



						April 8, 1995

Dear Executor,
           I have recently discovered a bug with the demo version of Executor
for DOS, ver. 1.99f and with the Go GUI interface. I have received a window
with "Console Message" in the titlebar. The message states "Couldn't Find
System::System Folder: Printer.  Here are the error messages after Executor
crashes:

I'm currently using a Packard Bell Legend 80386SX/16 Mhz PC, a standard VGA
monitor, and MS-DOS 6.2. I do have 4 Megs.
I am including a copy of Autoexec.Bat files, Config.Sys, as well as the
directory structure of my copy of the demo version of Executor for DOS, ver.
1.99f.

I normally run Executor under the Windows 3.1 with CD-ROM Exten., but I do
disable Smartdrive write-caching option.  Please give me some assistance.
Thank you.
