Executor 2 demos available + status report
Hi Folks,
In theory, the final demo versions of Executor 2 have been made.
While I'm putting together the rest of the CD-ROM, adventurous souls
can use ftp to pick up the new demos from ftp.ardi.com:/pub. The DOS
files have changed slightly from the first stab at E2 demos. The new
DOS files incorporate new splash screens, a new "wait cursor", a new
installer and a new Portuguese keyboard layout.
The files in question are:
DOS 2floppy set:
Executor_DOS/e2flop1.zip
Executor_DOS/e2flop2.zip
DOS self-extracting archive:
Executor_DOS/execdem2.exe
Linux:
Executor_Linux/executor-2-demo.tar.gz
NEXTSTEP:
Executor_NEXTSTEP/executor-nextstep-demo-2.tar.gz
Remember, these are the time-limited crippled demo versions. The
complete versions will be on the CD-ROM.
With luck, I'll have the complete CD-ROM built in a day or two. Then
we'll make about a dozen copies by hand and send them to the beta
testers that received beta0. Simultaneously we'll send a copy and the
film for the CD-ROM artwork to our duplicators.
Once we get a thumbs up from each of our beta testers, we'll tell the
duplicator to crank out 5,000 copies. At the same time, we'll notify
everyone that the beta price of $149 will go away in two weeks.
