1) Be sure to start Executor from a full-screen MSDOS prompt.  The
   fact that it switches to full screen once it starts isn't good enough.

2) There appears to be some problem using SVGA video modes on a bunch
   of WinNT systems...but not ours :-(.  I've added a "-vga" switch in
   house that will only use standard VGA modes.  For now the closest
   you can come to that is "executor -bpp 1"; 640x480x1bpp will use
   a plain VGA mode.  That's worked for one NT user.
