Executor/Linux 1.99m comments...




	I just set up 1.99m here - looks really good so far.  This is 
almost ready for "prime time" so to speak, in my opinion.

	About the video speed - when animation is off, things seem 
smoother now than they did under 1.99k.  Did the 4-dirty-rect code make 
it in here or something?  Whatever was done seemed to improve things.

	I like the new background, too.

	Most of what follows is nitpicking/bug reports... things which 
ALMOST work, but still need a little bit more work done.  These are much 
better than 1.99k though.

	PageMaker 4.2 ALMOST works for me.  The one major problem right 
now is that File/Place dosen't work, reporting "unknown file type"  This 
is a pretty old bug.  I think it's becuase it's running some checks on 
each file, and the filesystem code has some sort of a bug in it which 
dosen't report what Pagemaker needs.

	Running Executor/Linux under XF86_Mono is much closer now too.  
The only problems is that the background turns into a semi-randomish dot 
pattern (this happens in -bpp 1 too), and the mouse cursor is inverted.

	I haven't tested printing yet.

	In general, 1.99m + a few bug fixes + a couple of minor features 
mentioned by Cliff (formatting disks) + the hack-a-thon + one/two last 
debugging release(s) should be 2.0.  I can really feel it getting much closer 
now... keep it up!

	P.S.  Cliff - which company were you signing papers for anyway?
