Deluxe Music and Exec 1.99q




After trying out Executor *way* back (1.0, 1.1), and finally returning to 
the fold to try out the 1.99 renditions, I find I am pleasantly suprised 
at how good it is getting. I have only installed one program so far 
(which doesn't work, by the way), so I haven't been able to test it much.

However, the one program I would like to use is a music creation prog 
called Deluxe Music Construction Set vers 2.5 (circa 1988). I know of no 
later versions than that.

On a real Mac, it works even under system 7.5.1, all the way back to 6.0.5.
But under exec, it will fail consistently with the fault below if I open 
up the Score Settings window, and close it.


Page fault at eip=000b0306, error=0004
eax=0000a368 ebx=68a30000 ecx=fc0f2c00 edx=001b36e4 esi=002c0ffc edi=fc0f2c00

This error (and the numbers) are consistent.

I am running under OS/2 Warp (fixpak 17), 16mb ram, ATI Mach32 video. 
Exec settings are "-nosplash -logerr -applezone 8M -memory 6M".

-Logerr seems to do nothing (at least I can't find the log files), and 
specifying one (-logerr error.log) doesn't work either.

Various settings of syszone, applzone, stack, systen, memory seem to make 
no difference, even removing them.


Any ideas?
