Status Report



Hi Folks,

Half of 1.99d has been released:  a transmog file for our DOS paying  
customers and another Linux demo.  We haven't yet released a demo  
version for DOS, nor a new NEXTSTEP version, because we're in the  
process of changing which (and possibly how) sample apps are included  
with Executor.

In the meantime, our funding situation from NTK has improved a little  
bit so we've purchased some long overdue software that we'd like to  
test under Executor.  Specifically we now have the latest copies of  
(in no particular order):

7	Metrowerks CodeWarrior
	Nisus Writer
	Quark XPress
7	Microsoft Word (6.0)
7	Microsoft Excel (5.0)
7	Microsoft PowerPoint (4.0)
	WriteNow
	Filemaker Pro
	ClarisWorks
	Swivel 3D Professional

We'll be buying some more applications (Aldus and Adobe) after we've  
cleaned up some of the backlog of testing, firefighting and e-mail  
answering.  We're also doing a lot of testing of apps/demos that we  
pick up via anonymous ftp or are available on the BCS-PD CD ROM.

NOTE:  The applications with a "7" next to them "require" System 7.   
We will try to do enough System 7 "spoofing" to get these  
applications to work, but if that winds up being more trouble than we  
expect, we may release Executor 2.0 without the ability to run some  
of those apps, and have to put such functionality into a later  
release.

I realize we still don't have a list of what runs and what doesn't  
out, but we're working on that, too.
