E/D 1.99pX and jam on works!!!
Hi folks...
Yesterday i thought i'd take a look at the DOS version of Executor,
upto now i only used it with Linux.
First of all, after installing the new uvbe51a which enables
linear frame buffer and the vbe 2.0 extensions the graphics were
around 50-80% faster even than the E/L svaglib version (which as
far is i know also uses a linear frame buffer).
My machines is equipped with an Adaptec 1542C and has 5 SCSI devices
attached to it, one of them a ZIP-drive, which in the first term
already works cool. I didn't try to change media yet, but access
was working.
But now the real cool part:
I use on my ZIP drives a sort of Stacker or DoubleSpace replacement
called jam. This a shareware program which also does on the fly
file compression and decompression and looks like an additional
drive. It is even faster than DoubleSpace (to what i experienced),
and it really compresses close to 2:1, so it's like Executor
just the way go.
Well, when i started Executor i first didn't notice, but Executor
showed me that compressed drive, too!!!
And i was even able to work with it!!!!!
I was really impressed as you can tell. So i now can even use
my hfv files on a compressed file system.
Keep on like that guys, i definitly will buy the update after 2.0
is out (as they won't take any donations... grmbl... ;))))
Read ya, Phil (A very pleased registered Executor user)
