Executor/DOS Pre-Beta
Dear Friends,
We just sent floppies of Executor/DOS Pre-Beta to 17 important
computer publication editors. We've extended an offer to send
floppies to another 700 editors. Mat has returned to MIT last week
(which was always the plan). We still have a little functionality to
add to Executor/DOS as well as working on the manual rewrite and bug
fixing. All this is going on while we try to finish up
Executor/NEXTSTEP 1.3.
I was hoping to have the printing to non-NeXT printers problem
resolved in 1.2.2g, but because we've done a bunch of other work and
not put out an experimental release lately, I'll probably just bundle
up what we have and put that out as 1.2.2g and then get back to
working on the printing problem.
If you would like to play with Executor/DOS Pre-Beta and you can use
anonymous ftp to transfer a ~2,500,000 byte gzipped tar file and then
get that on to your PC, let me know and I'll let you know how to do
it.
BTW, a better implementation of accelerated graphics is in the works.
It will fix the cursor and movement glitches and work under
NEXTSTEP/INTEL as well. We're working with NeXT on this, so there
are two struggling companies that may hold things up...
