Hmmm... previous versions of TattleTech have run.

Yes, a high (but post E2) priority now that everyone is starting to
see the benefits of the internet.

Not quite the same thing, but you can select a file or folder and then
hit the Delete button. I don't know if this shortcut is documented
anywhere, but it works.

I too would like this, but it won't be done in the near future. On
the other hand, we'll be releasing the source to browser fairly soon.

ditto.

We have new icons for Broswer (they were contributed by Jon Abbott and
Emilio Moreno). We won't be supplying a Windows icon for Executor,
although many people use the Apple that's in the standard Windows
distribution.

Infected? I don't think there is any documented case of an infected
program spreading under Executor although I do believe someone has
seen an infected program crash under Executor -- disinfecting the
program made it run.
