Executor/DOS Pre-Beta



Dear Friends,

We just sent floppies of Executor/DOS Pre-Beta to 17 important  
computer publication editors.  We've extended an offer to send  
floppies to another 700 editors.  Mat has returned to MIT last week  
(which was always the plan).  We still have a little functionality to  
add to Executor/DOS as well as working on the manual rewrite and bug  
fixing.  All this is going on while we try to finish up  
Executor/NEXTSTEP 1.3.

I was hoping to have the printing to non-NeXT printers problem  
resolved in 1.2.2g, but because we've done a bunch of other work and  
not put out an experimental release lately, I'll probably just bundle  
up what we have and put that out as 1.2.2g and then get back to  
working on the printing problem.

If you would like to play with Executor/DOS Pre-Beta and you can use  
anonymous ftp to transfer a ~2,500,000 byte gzipped tar file and then  
get that on to your PC, let me know and I'll let you know how to do  
it.

BTW, a better implementation of accelerated graphics is in the works.   
It will fix the cursor and movement glitches and work under  
NEXTSTEP/INTEL as well.  We're working with NeXT on this, so there  
are two struggling companies that may hold things up...
