Subject: E/D 1.99l is out, but largely untested
Hi Folks,
ftp.cs.unm.edu:/pub/ardi/Executor_DOS contains two files: exldisk1.zip
and exldisk2.zip. If you take these files over in binary and then
unzip their contents onto separate floppies, you'll have a two floppy
installation disk set that will install Executor/DOS 1.99l.
Alternatively, you can unzip their contents onto your hard drive and
install directly from there (this feature was not present in 1.99k).

I will download 1.99l as soon as I can, but 1.99k still gives me an error
mesage when running DNA Strider that the restriction enzyme library must be
in text file format (it is already, so the message is not useful). 1.99k is
also very slow on my 386DX/25 with 5 MB RAM. Also, I did install it from my
hardisk... no floppies involved. Anyone else find this possible with "k"?
Overall, it's much more stable than previous versions, so I think it's
getting there. And my personal (though perhaps not popular) opinion on the
Apple logo, etc. is: the priorities are stable, compatible and fast (i.e.
useful) first, and leave the cute stuff for later (not that those things
wouldn't be nice, but I want to keep my job first).
Thanks,
