q12 bugs



Just downloaded Executor 1.99q12 (Dos) and here is what I find:

Bug Fixes:
1)  Windows NT no longer thinks that I have a postscript printer.
    Yahh!!!

Featurs worth adding:
1)  Have <command>-<shift>-<9> change the video mode to the correct
    mode AND repaint the screen.  This is because windows NT does
    not restore the screen to the same video mode after switching 
    back to executor from windows NT

New Bugs:
1)  Pressing <command>-<shift>-<1> brings up the 'about' box of 
    executor that says what <command>-<shift>-<number> does but
    does not mention that number 7 will repaint the screen.

2)  Executor does allow McDraw v1.1 to be entered and exited
    then reentered when running from dos.  But if I enter 
    windows (3.1) and exit windows then go into executor the FIRST
    time I try McDraw executor crashes with:

    Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV
    General Protection Fault at eip=000041f7
    eax=0000022f ebx=001fadf0 ecx=00000000 edx=0000022f esi=000a00d7
edi=000af283
    ebp=001f3548 esp=00003542 cs=00c7 ds=00b7 es=00d7 fs=022f gs=01f7 ss=00b7
    Call frame traceback EIPs:
    0x000041f7

    The only way to enter McDraw is to reboot the machine

3)  Sometimes when executor dies it displays the error message simaler to 
    the one in bug #2 but it displayes it over and over again until finally
    it dies with a 'Divide by zero error'  When capturing the output to a 
    file the file is about 1/2 Meg.

4)  When executor is run and is told to use more memory than it has (-applzone)
    then executor will die in places like:  printing, printint setup, not
loading
    McDraw more than once, and several other places that can't seem to be
duplicated.

Old bugs still waiting for a fix:
1)  Backspacing in a text field in Mcdraw
