My Problems with E/D 1.99n
Well, these problems aren't really just with 1.99n, they're with 1.99m
and my own computer, too. When I loaded version 1.99m on my machine, all
of the programs that came with it worked fine, but it wouldn't recognize
the volumes I created. (.HFV files in the C:/EXECUTOR directory) But
when I zipped up my entire EXECUTOR directory and tried it on a different
machine, all of the volumes showed up. This was weird, and I got so
frustrated that I figured I'd just wait for 1.99n. I got that (at about
1:30 am today) and installed it. Since volumes had been a problem for me
before, the first thing I did was make a test volume and load up
executor. It didn't show up. Trying different things, I renamed
EXDEMOS.HFV to ABC.000 so it wouldn't load. _THEN_ my test volume showed
up. I experimented with that for a while and came to the conclusion that
the number of .HFV volumes recognizable had a firm limit of two. (This
is just for me. I'm waiting for other people to tell me that it works
for them.)
Through some shuffling, I managed to get all of the system stuff into a 4
meg volume, and I copied all the demos to a 20 meg volume. Then I tried
to load some software. BinHex gave me a "file system error -42" message
or something. CompactPro and StuffitLite also gave weird errors.
I have a suspicion that it's just me and that E/D 1.99n should work
perfectly for everyone else, but I wish somebody out there could help me
figure out what I've got going wrong.
