Hey, just because you use DOS alot doesn't mean you're the only person in the world.
Linux is both better than DOS/Win95, and it is Free. Writing for a single OS is closed-minded
if you can write for many, as you KNOW you'll have the platform of the future if you get a variety.
BEsides, I believe that the makers of Executor have a good bit of Unix familiarity, and therefore
it seems very reasonable that they work on their native platform. Besides, unlike most companies
that just seem out to make money, Executor is loyal to its customers. It started on the NeXT, and those
who bought into it won't be disappointed.
