We've seen occasional mouse problems here and there.  Until I saw this
report I thought that the only outstanding ones were with the logitech
"cloaking" and with Executor under Windows NT.

First, try getting 1.99q7.  We fixed some non-mouse related bugs that
are deep enough into Executor that there's a slim chance that they
will get rid of the problem.  If that doesn't work, do this (requires
1.99q7):

	executor > backtrac

Then when Executor locks up type Ctrl-BREAK (BREAK is probably the
right most key on your keyboard up on the row with the function keys
on it).  That should leave a backtrace in the file "backtrac".  If you
then send us a copy of backtrac with an explanation that will help us
get a handle on what's going on.

Well, if it's any consolation, we're working around the clock to get
Executor 2 to work with all sorts of hardware/software combinations
that we don't have in house.  I apologize for the inconvenience you've
been put through.  I suspect we can get things going once we know a
little more.

I've added comp.emulators.mac.executor to the Newsgroups line and set
