Re: 1.99h is out on ftp.cs.unm.edu (Linux + DOS)




Hi Jon,

You may be able to do what you want by using a shell script.  If you
run Executor from a command line and give it an argument of a Mac
executable, it should fire that executable up when it's initialized.
A future version of Executor will allow you to specify a browser that
will be started up by default.  I'll make sure you can juke it so that
you start up Quicken instead of the browser.
