Re: Executor Version 1.3 (or even 1.2f? :)
Hi Chad,
What happened is that we had an agreement with some investors to provide us
with a certain amount of money in a certain amount of time, or so we thought.
We eventually got the money, but it wasn't when we thought it would be, so
the most opportune time for us to build a copy of 1.3 and send it to all our
existing 1.x customers came and went without us having the capital necessary
to do the duplication and mass mailing.
On the other hand, many of the things that made 1.99x less attractive than
what would have been 1.3 have either already been fixed, or will be fixed
soon. I can't speak about the games, but the Word bug that you mention is
well known and should be fixed for 1.99i. If we hadn't had so much sickness
and vacation time over the last couple months, it would be fixed by now.

I remember a few months ago there were plans to merge the
executor 1.2e source tree with the new synthetic CPU, and release a
version 1.3.
I'd still like to have a copy of 1.3 (if it's possible to make
one...). I'm wondering why it hasn't been released (IMHO, some stuff
such as word 5.0 and some games ran better or more reliabily under 1.2e
than 1.99x and I'd like to see that merged with the fast CPU!)
I think the original B&W video code is a bit faster under some
applications than the color one, and I'd like to be able to use both.
(My problem with Word 5.0 is that after some dialogs the UI
crashes - this is under 1.99h, and it's the About Word and the Summary
Info dialog. The system just hangs after those, but Alt-Shift-5 still
works.)
Thanks!
