Halts in Executor




I'm a recent user of Executor, having downloaded v1.1 off a local BBS and
deciding to see how the latest version 1.99q(DOS) looked (WOW! I thought 
Classic-looking emulation was good).  Anyway, it worked great: smooth, 
fast, relatively compatible.

Then, all of a sudden, and for no apparent reason, it started to "freeze" 
for maybe 2-seconds at various intervals.  I'll click on a menu, and a 
couple of seconds will pass until it drops down.  Icons when dragged 
behave similarly.  The first apparent instance of this is when Executor is
loading, and the cursor will pause (but the cursor will still move during 
the other freezes).  This happens in all my applications, but generally 
seems to be confined to mouse-related activity (i.e. while I play 
Wolfenstein 3D for the Mac, the screen never halts).

Now, the only thing I can think of which seemed to start this problem was 
when I dragged a bunch of fonts into the launcher bar, and later attempts 
to remove them crashed Executor.  When I upgraded to q7, I also got the 
original files again and replaced my system h (so the fonts are now 
gone), but the problem persists.

Other than this--absolutely phenomenol product, 10x better than I ever 
thought could be possible (heck, with q7 Hypercard with Audio works 
impressively well).
