Re: command line options for Executor (you don't need to know this) + X Question




In my opinion, there are about a million useful and important things
that can be done with Executor that are like having X windows
compatibility.  Also in my opinion, these things should come at the
end of the development cycle for Executor, given that ARDI's resources
seem to be quite small.  Executor-MSW will probably not be taken truly
seriously by those with the ability to buy in very large quantity
until it is a true Mac emulator i.e. the tag '-MSW' is removed
forever.  Finally, and again in my opinion only, I would prefer, and
think ARDI would profit most, by having Executor run everything, just
like SoftPC.  Configuration files should be considered a crutch
because they reflect underlying inconsistencies in the emulation
(obviously).  No doubt I am speaking the obvious, but it seems that a
great deal of attention is being focused on the short-term quick-fix,
at least in this mailing list.  I don't know anything about ARDI's
actual product development cycle, but unless these fixes are required
to keep ARDI viable instead of in bancruptcy proceedings then I think
the focus might be a little wrong.

This is in no way meant as disparagement of ARDI's brilliant work.
Keep with it and you will command any resources you might ever need.
