Evelyn> How do I do that? Find out what device your SCSI drive is, then set the MacVolumes environment variable to it's name in /dev, e.g.: export MacVolumes=/dev/sdb Of course you'll need read/write permission on the device in question. If you get the device wrong, Executor will notice that it's not a Mac filesystem and will leave it alone.

We have 4 over here and I don't recall the color problem, but I haven't looked at it in a while. Evelyn> Executor doesn't cope with files across mount points at Evelyn> all. Can you be more specific? I think that might be a problem that was solved in 1.99o. Please get 1.99o if you haven't already. If you still have the problems, send a little more detail to "bugs@ardi.com".
