Extensive Applications Report!



This is a large report conteining info about a lot of Share APPS
and a little commercial APPS under Executor. Every app has been
tested in a CLEAN FILESYSTEM. A lot of apps and games are shareware,
so if anyone wants any, U only have to E-mail me and when i have time
i will FTP it where ever U want! (Obviously this includes ARDI people too 
and with preference)

Sorry for having taking too much time, but i love high mountain holidays!

*Studio Craft 1.3
	Hardly tested!. Seems to have trouble when importing PICTs(Stack fault)
	but it works fine. I think it SHOULD be in a Demo volume.
	(Its a color painting and presentation program)


GAMES
------
*3D Brick bash

	Some problems with mouse (redraws the background) and with color
	but is somewhat playable. Tipical break wall game!

*BeamWars 2.3.2
	When gonna play New game it hags!
	It draws the background and the laser guns and make the 3 seconds
	coundown and then hangs! CTRl-BRK to get out!

*Flipper 1.0
	Seems to work fine! but i dont know exactly how to play it
	(it a strange colors and squares game, like simon or something
	like that)

*GNU Chess 3.0
	Hardly tested! This is a B&W Chess game that runs ok! It has
	a little problem when resizing the movements window, but i think
	its due to the program code, not from E/D. I think it can
	be included in a demo HD.

*Mac Pong II v1.0
	Hardly tested! No problems to report. A B&W 2D ping-pong game!
	Not too much impresive but works without any errors!.

*Maelstrom 1.4
	Uses -refresh 5 to play and set volume to 0!
	Problems:
		The repeat value of the fire is not considered, so U have
		to press and release for every fire and U cant hold it 
		to get multiple lasers. (Not autofire, just the three
		dots fire)

		The score line gets corrupted when changin level 1 to 2.
		(The numbers overwrite the characters)
	I think this SHOULD be in a demo volume.!

*Prince of Persia Demo	
	Works fine! The screen is like jumping! Too much flash but it
	works very well. By the way, anyone can tell me the Keys from
	a real MAC?

*Silly invaders 1.6
	The Spacecraft sprite and the martians sprites do not appear, 
	there is a white hole instead!

*Super Colums
	Works fine! No errors. Its the typical colums color game.
	It can be in a demo volume 

In two days i will post new SHARE games report!

OTHER EXECUTOR ERRORS AND SUGGESTIONS
-------------------------------------
	The 10 minutes countdown starts when U press ENTER on the command
line (c:\executor> executor) , and i think it should be start when U press
DEMO. (Nonsense)

	What has happened to the right-left bar that was on the botton of
the traditional mac windows?

	How can i guess the Kbytes left on a HD? (Important)

	And thats all. In a day or two i will send more info. If U need
	any app to try, U only have to ask for it!
