Re: bugs??



Executor/DOS 1.2e does not check for non-HFV filesystems until you  
explicitly ask it to by typing Left-Alternate/SHIFT/2.  This applies  
to floppy disks, SCSI disks and CD-ROMs.  You can get the old  
behaviour (that checks every time a standard get/put dialog box is  
brought up) by adding the "-drivecheck" to the command line.

The next release of Executor will be halfway between what the old  
version of Executor did (check every time) and what 1.2e does (only  
check when you type Cmd-Shift-2).  It will check for disks once at  
startup time and will also check each time you dismiss the box that  
you get when you eject a floppy.  All other checks will only be made  
when you type Cmd-Shift-2.  It will honor the "-drivecheck" switch  
just like 1.2e does, if you want.

I found that the latest update I got off the net works very
well with my 486 running OS/2.  Unfortuantely, that is 

because it no longer can access the floppy dirves (no access
under DOS either).  Previuosly, it would spend some time
trying to access my B: 51/4 drive after every attempt to 

read the disks.
