More info about 1.2.2a, b, c



Dear Folks,

Soon after we released 1.2.2a we found and fixed a handful of  
significant bugs and released 1.2.2b.  We have now found and fixed  
another set and are putting out 1.2.2c.  We think we're getting  
pretty close to what we can feel comfortable calling 1.3, but we do  
know that there will be at least one more release before we make this  
transition:  HFS_XFer will become a Desk Accessory and be included  
with Executor.app.  Right now ARDI is interrupt driven; any bug that  
represents a difference between Executor/NS/NeXT and  
Executor/NS/Intel, or any bug that represents a step back from 1.2.2  
gets top priority.  Beyond that we are working on the HFS_XFer Desk  
Accessory (yes, this means we'll have *some* support for Desk  
Accessories in general).  The bottom line is that if transferring via  
ftp is a hassle, you may want to wait until we have HFS_XFer going  
before you pick up 1.2.2c, 1.2.2d 1.2.2e, etc.

If you have NS 3.1 on NeXT hardware and you want 1.2.2 to work, you  
can get Executor 1.2.2c and extract the "ardimods" directory and use  
that to replace what you currently have with 1.2.2.  That will make  
1.2.2 on NeXT hardware work under NeXTSTEP 3.1.

If you have NS 3.0 and you want to try 1.2.2c and later, you can  
without having to worry about the "ardimods" directory.  Starting  
with 1.2.2c, the ardimods will automatically detect when they're  
being run on a 3.0 system and adjust themselves accordingly.
