I used to be able to use Alt-Shift-2, and then choose Check for Disk under File with "go". I can't seem to get it to access though w/ 1.99m... I even tried to automatically set "MacVolume" to /dev/fd0, but to no avail. About possible SVGA instead of X-window support-- Maybe its just me, but I would like to see this as an "option" instead of as an additional version. I don't know if that would be possible, or if it would just bloat the code-- but it would be ideal that if I'm in X-windows i could stay there, but if I really needed some speed I could log into another virtual terminal and run it under SVGA. Maybe a commandline option? something like "executor -svga" or "executor -x11" ??? Also, as a side note-- Maybe I just didn't look hard enough, but I seem to remember finding where I could mail my registration to in the past... I looked again, and couldn't seem to find it. Could you post this info? Perhaps that should be a section in the faq--complete info on prices and where to send it to, and who to call. (phone number) All I could find was the prices in the "executor-linux.readme" file. BTW- 1.99m is really looking beautiful! I love the ability to change backgrounds--makes it look real sharp. Perhaps the "go" browser could be a bit more colorful, though... Perhaps making the hot-band a 3D raised bar--This could also be configurable to different colors. (Similar to the configuration of colors on the Mac/OS windows--the tinting colors) Jeff Halverson halv0019@gold.tc.umn.edu
