Re: executor1.99h/dos video problems



Hi Kurt and others,

We know that with some of the more recent versions of Executor/DOS,
we've given some people more functionality at the expense of others.
With some effort on our part we should be able to keep the new
functionality *without* losing what we already had.  It might be
another week or two before you see that, since Mat's been taking a
little vacation of late and I've been taking a little sick leave.

The current implementation of "-noclock" does not do what the old one
did.  As such, there's no reason to use it under 1.99h, but starting
with 1.99i and beyond there's a slim chance that it will make some
apps work properly.
