Yes, you are absolutely correct. Due to a hasty release, 1.99o3
always prints out many of the debugging messages you'd only see with
"-debug 10". We'll release 1.99o4 soon; to work around this, you can
do:
executor > junk
so the output doesn't foul your screen. 1.99o3 has various nasties
like this, so I recommend that people *NOT* pick up 1.99o3, and
instead wait for 1.99o4 or 1.99p.

Actually, Ultima 3 is scaling a 32 bit per pixel pixmap. Our scaling
code currently only supports up to 8 bits per pixel. This should be
easy to fix. I solved this game as a kid on my Apple ][...it would be
fun to get it running under Executor.
