IMHO, freezing up in the middle of something just happens a lot by itself
under DOS or win 3.1. I have tried the RISK demo on executor/Linux quite a
few times (to figure out, by curiosity, how RISK works) and I have not
seen it crash. The same can be said for the Ultimate Solitaire demo to
which I have become addicted.. :) Have you tried a more recent executor
version? You can get one at vorlon.mit.edu in /pub/ardi/

I have it in me so much nearer home
