Then I tried 1.1.52 and Executor was running (although with most programs more or less black/white, rest of screen was yellow). At this stage I cannot justify whether it is useful for "serious" programs or not because of the lack of documentation and the impossibility to install "serious" applications via diskette. For me it looks interesting and I am awaiting any next version where at least a minimum of documentation is available. Med. School of Tuebingen Germany
