Re: Executor Version 1.3 (or even 1.2f? :)



Hi Chad,

What happened is that we had an agreement with some investors to provide us  
with a certain amount of money in a certain amount of time, or so we thought.   
We eventually got the money, but it wasn't when we thought it would be, so  
the most opportune time for us to build a copy of 1.3 and send it to all our  
existing 1.x customers came and went without us having the capital necessary  
to do the duplication and mass mailing.

On the other hand, many of the things that made 1.99x less attractive than  
what would have been 1.3 have either already been fixed, or will be fixed  
soon.  I can't speak about the games, but the Word bug that you mention is  
well known and should be fixed for 1.99i.  If we hadn't had so much sickness  
and vacation time over the last couple months, it would be fixed by now.

	I remember a few months ago there were plans to merge the 

executor 1.2e source tree with the new synthetic CPU, and release a 

version 1.3.

	I'd still like to have a copy of 1.3 (if it's possible to make 

one...).  I'm wondering why it hasn't been released (IMHO, some stuff 

such as word 5.0 and some games ran better or more reliabily under 1.2e 

than 1.99x and I'd like to see that merged with the fast CPU!)

	I think the original B&W video code is a bit faster under some 

applications than the color one, and I'd like to be able to use both.

	(My problem with Word 5.0 is that after some dialogs the UI 

crashes - this is under 1.99h, and it's the About Word and the Summary 

Info dialog.  The system just hangs after those, but Alt-Shift-5 still 

works.)

	Thanks!

	- Chad Page
