PPC code possible in future of Executor?
Sorry to constantly be pestering you guys about future progress and what
will and what won't be implemented (I guess I'm just excited about the
progress that I've seen in the past few months!)...
I was wondering if a couple things might be possible in future (post 2.0)
versions of Executor...
First off, the ALPHA-DEC Linux machine appears to be able to run
everything except X-Windows right now... X should come real soon now
from what I hear... Once ARDI finds its way out of debt, do you think
you'll find a way to compile a LInux-ALPHA version? I'd love to see what
kind of magic executor could do with 266Mhz!!!
Secondly, with Apple switching thier marketing towards the PowerPC
(PowerMac), more and more apps are being shipped with PPC versions. Will
future (post 2.0) versions be able to run these? Do you expect better
speed, or worse speed on these emulations?
Thidly-- and I know this probably is a bit dreamy-- What is the
possibility of being able to run Macintosh Apps w/o the entire
"Macintosh" window? In other words, just run a single application on the
X-windows screen without all the "browser" stuff? It would be nice (but
certainly not very necessary) to have the Mac Apps run better integrated
with existing X-windows applications... (ala WINE, where you can have
the -desktop option, or just have it run in its own window)
As a final note, I got a crash under executor when I tried to run a demo
version of DesignWorkshop... The error is as follows:
mmansubr.c:734; fatal error in `ROMlib_relalloc': failed assertion
`PSIZE (b) != 0'
mmansubr.c:734; fatal error in `ROMlib_relalloc': failed assertion `PSIZE
(b) != 0'
Any hints on getting it to run? In case it helps, you can pick up the
demo verison from the following site:

Keep up the beatiful work!
