exexp12b.zip on ftp.cs.unm.edu + general status report
Hi Folks,
The updater that will convert a commercial version of E/D 1.2 to E/D
1.2a, the second experimental release of Executor/DOS, is available
as ftp.cs.unm.edu:pub/ardi/Executor_DOS/exexp12b.zip. This new
version *does* allow the StuffIt programs to work and has a few more
filesystem fixes in it. There are also a variety of misc. fixes, so
more applications should work than before.
The first investment installment from NTK, our Korean investors,
arrived earlier this week, and not coincidentally, Bill Goldman has
returned to work at ARDI after a two year hiatus. Bill will be
handling NEXTSTEP tech. support and also supervising our in-house
testing. It's now even me important than ever to send e-mail to
"questions@ardi.com" instead of "ctm@ardi.com", since I'm trying to
get Vaune and Bill to handle as much customer interaction as
possible. That will allow me to spend this month getting the final
features integrated into 2.0.
Mat and Cotton are working furiously on color support, but I'd guess
it won't show up until Executor/DOS 1.2d (i.e. two weeks away), and
even then it will be a little rough.
Rick Buchanan has significantly spruced up our Executor/DOS manual,
and soon we'll be updating it to include all the 2.0 features.
We are also talking to some serious graphic artists about our
packaging for 2.0 -- everything's coming together fairly nicely.
