exexp12b.zip on ftp.cs.unm.edu + general status report



Hi Folks,

The updater that will convert a commercial version of E/D 1.2 to E/D  
1.2a, the second experimental release of Executor/DOS, is available  
as ftp.cs.unm.edu:pub/ardi/Executor_DOS/exexp12b.zip.  This new  
version *does* allow the StuffIt programs to work and has a few more  
filesystem fixes in it.  There are also a variety of misc. fixes, so  
more applications should work than before.

The first investment installment from NTK, our Korean investors,  
arrived earlier this week, and not coincidentally, Bill Goldman has  
returned to work at ARDI after a two year hiatus.  Bill will be  
handling NEXTSTEP tech. support and also supervising our in-house  
testing.  It's now even me important than ever to send e-mail to  
"questions@ardi.com" instead of "ctm@ardi.com", since I'm trying to  
get Vaune and Bill to handle as much customer interaction as  
possible.  That will allow me to spend this month getting the final  
features integrated into 2.0.

Mat and Cotton are working furiously on color support, but I'd guess  
it won't show up until Executor/DOS 1.2d (i.e. two weeks away), and  
even then it will be a little rough.

Rick Buchanan has significantly spruced up our Executor/DOS manual,  
and soon we'll be updating it to include all the 2.0 features.

We are also talking to some serious graphic artists about our  
packaging for 2.0 -- everything's coming together fairly nicely.
