1.99b, more



OK, quickly: UnStuffit finally works! (more or less; I had to run the SEA, then
quit Executor, then run the actual Unstuffit program for some reason; otherwise
I got a crash).  Like a previous poster, Word 5.1 still doesn't work for me. 
With a 2 meg applzone, it crashes after drawing the toolbox and document
window (no cursor, though one time with 1.99a it continually incremented the
page counter at the bottom - fast, I might add, and it got up to over 250!)

Two games that worked with 1.2 but don't function under 1.99x: Glypha 2.0 
(shareware) and Spaceward Ho! (commercial).  I didn't really test the latter
fully, but it seemed to run OK under 1.2.  I can supply you with Glypha if you
want it.

There are several programs which won't start under 1.99b because they claim
that color 32-bit QD is -not- available.  Any idea what would cause this? 
PICTShow and Hazardous caused these.

I had some trouble with HFS Xfer and deleting folders.  It may have been due
to a corrupted volume file.

I'm sure you've said something about this, but is an FPU going to be supported
in the future (as in, on the Mac end).

One more compatibility thing: Solarian II works under 1.99b!  Unfortunately, it
also crashes without warning at a random time - the action is fluid and
everything works - and this shareware game would seem to be a good candidate
for a future Demo volume.  Basically, the game just "freezes" with no Executor
or system error message.
