My Problems with E/D 1.99n



Well, these problems aren't really just with 1.99n, they're with 1.99m 
and my own computer, too.  When I loaded version 1.99m on my machine, all 
of the programs that came with it worked fine, but it wouldn't recognize 
the volumes I created.  (.HFV files in the C:/EXECUTOR directory)  But 
when I zipped up my entire EXECUTOR directory and tried it on a different 
machine, all of the volumes showed up.  This was weird, and I got so 
frustrated that I figured I'd just wait for 1.99n.  I got that (at about 
1:30 am today) and installed it.  Since volumes had been a problem for me 
before, the first thing I did was make a test volume and load up 
executor.  It didn't show up.  Trying different things, I renamed 
EXDEMOS.HFV to ABC.000 so it wouldn't load.  _THEN_ my test volume showed 
up.  I experimented with that for a while and came to the conclusion that 
the number of .HFV volumes recognizable had a firm limit of two.  (This 
is just for me.  I'm waiting for other people to tell me that it works 
for them.)  

Through some shuffling, I managed to get all of the system stuff into a 4 
meg volume, and I copied all the demos to a 20 meg volume.  Then I tried 
to load some software.  BinHex gave me a "file system error -42" message 
or something.  CompactPro and StuffitLite also gave weird errors.  

I have a suspicion that it's just me and that E/D 1.99n should work 
perfectly for everyone else, but I wish somebody out there could help me 
figure out what I've got going wrong.
