Executor and Windows 95



This is both for Executor users and ARDI.  
If you have Windows 95(Mac84) and can't wait for the Windows 95 version of Executor, these programs might 
help.:
"ShoveIt"  Fixes the bug in Windows 95 that causes the tops of windows to be covered up when you have the 
Taskbar at the top of the screen like a Mac.

"QuickTime for Windows 95"(32-bit)
	http://quicktime.apple.com/qt/sw/licensew.html
"StuffIt Expander for Windows"(16-bit)
	ftp://ftp.scruz.net/users/aladdin/public/SITEX10.EXE

These programs would useful for ARDI and people waiting for the Windows 95 version of Executor.:
"WinMac96" A program that puts an almost finished Macintosh Menu Bar on your Windows 95 desktop.  It also has 
Windows 95 equivalents of certain Macintosh commands.  It even brings up and actual Macintosh dialog box when 
you click on About this Macintosh!

"WinImage" A program that allow you to read and create disk images.  I included it because it not only allows 
you to read an create standard size PC disk images, it also allow you to read and create disk images in other 
sizes also.  One is 820kb! (do you think this would allow you to read 800kb Mac disks, ARDI?)

The following would probably only be useful for ARDI.:
"Mac Desktop Theme" YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO START WINDOWS IF YOU USE THIS THEME ON A VIDEO CARD WITH A TRIDENT 
9440 VIDEO CARD SET TO 800x600.  I don't know about other video cards or resolutions.  Use a your own risk. (I 
had to reinstall Windows 95.)

"FirstClass Client for Windows" I included this because it has some of the icons that come with MacOS. (If you 
want to view them, go to Explorer, go the Options Menu, click on the File Types tab, click on Edit, click on 
Change Icon, and type in the path of the file. (After you run the Installer.))

P.S. The following Mac program might be useful if you have some PKZIP files that 
you want to decompress in Executor.:  http://www.asizip.com/download/pkzipmac203.hqx
P.S.S Why were there only two messages in the last digest, ARDI?
P.S.S.S. I tried the following two pinball programs by Starplay under Executor/DOS 2.0b1.:  Crystal Caliburn 
Pinball and Loony Labyrinth Pinball.  Both of them worked perfectly (with sound even!).  However, Executor 
crashed with one of those dreaded General Protection Fault errors when I clicked on Insert Coin, and Loony 
Labyrinth seemed to be working alright also, and Executor even stayed up when I clicked on Insert Coin, but it 
also crashed after I tried to play the game.
