Mat and Joel have done a good job. Thanks also go to Pat for doing
such a bang up job on the high level and linux low level
implementation.
Bill> First bug, Photoshop still doesn't run.
Yes, we haven't been able to look into that yet. The problem is that
it *does* run over here and we just haven't had the time to try to
track down why it doesn't go on your system. This is still a very
high priority for us, it's just slightly lower priority than what
Mat's been working on (sound and Mac formatted media problems) and
what I've been working on (Executor 2 CD-ROM layout).

Well it's a little trickier from our perspective because we didn't
actually write Illustrator, and Executor really doesn't have any
knowledge of what it is doing, per-se. Executor just follows
instructions (at the low-level, the instructions are machine code, at
a higher level the instructions are OS calls and Toolbox traps). In
general an incompatibility is a case where we don't follow
instructions in quite the same way that the Mac does, but figuring out
exactly where we differ is tricky.

That is by design.

It should. It should save the info and remember it on a
per-application basis. In other words if you're running Browser and
make some mods and then hit save, the next time you run Browser the
prefs you saved should be used. On the other hand, if you were
running Tex-Edit, and you made some mods and hit save, then the prefs
should affect Tex-Edit next time it's run.
If that isn't how your system is working, we'll need to ask you some
questions to figure out what's going wrong. Perhaps your "configur"
directory was deleted.

We'll definitely ask you more questions once we've freed up a little
time over here.
