This version is highly experimental, and is *NOT* a full replacement for Executor 1.99n; it merely replaces one of 1.99n's files. These fixes will of course be merged into the next full release of Executor, but we thought we'd make some of the fixes available early so that the diehard experimenters out there can play with it. Feedback on the "bleeding edge" versions will help 1.99o be more stable than it would otherwise have been, but anything in the "BleedingEdge" directory won't be tested very well. >From ftp.ardi.com:/pub/BleedingEdge/README: vesafix.zip -- A replacement E/D 1.99n executor.exe that fixes: 1) Mach64 and some other video boards only allow 4 bits per pixel when a VBE 2.0 video driver is used [the fix is untested, since ARDI's machines don't exhibit this problem, but it should work]. 2) Cycling through desktop patterns causes a crash. 3) Cursor "paints" the screen (not a full fix; you also need to set the browser to "animation" mode with alt-shift-5 and save it). 4) Executor 1.99n crashes right away under OS/2 Warp. -Mat
