New Demo available
I've just finished putting Executor-DEMO2.tar in:
unmvax.cs.unm.edu pub/ardi/DEMO
nova.cc.purdue.edu pub/next/submissions
cs.orst.edu pub/next/submissions
If you currently have Executor and you pick up the DEMO, you'll see
some major changes with respect to the UNIX filesystem, primarily:
Executor now sees the entire UNIX filesystem
Macintosh formatted floppies inserted after Executor has begun
running are available for reading from, writing to, or executing
off of
Apple Filesystems that are mounted with any product that uses
"Apple Double" format will automatically be handled correctly,
meaning you can read/write and execute directly off your Mac
disks if you are running NFS Share or something similar (but
the DEMO copy is still extremely limited in what it will run)
Double-clickable ".appl" files
In addition, this version has different kernel mods than what the
previous DEMO had. In an effort to prevent stale information, I have
removed the "ardimods.s" file from unmvax.cs.unm.edu:pub/ardi/Source.
If you want the new kernel mods you can either extract them from the
DEMO (which I suggest you get, even if you own a copy of Executor;
you can give the DEMO away to curious friends) or send me e-mail and
I can send them to you, or you can wait for V1.2, which really is
worth the wait (we still have a little new printing functionality to
add and HFS_XFer is getting a tremendous workover, but mostly it's
just bug-fixes).
If you're on the beta list for Executor-V1.2, rest assured I made a
new copy last night; I just had too many hassles with the machine
that we do our mailing through to get it out. It will go out tonight
or on Saturday.
