Reply-to: yanowitz@cs.umass.edu X-Mailer: MH 6.8.3 Date: Tue, 08 Aug 95 14:07:38 -0400 From: Jason Yanowitz <yanowitz@eternity.cs.umass.edu> X-Mts: smtp Sender: owner-paper@nacm.com Precedence: bulk Hi, Here's the setup: I'm running Linux (1.3.12), XFree3.1 (yes I am behind the times) and Executor-1.99o. We have netware 3.11 running, with the nfs-nlm on it. I am NFS-mounting all the netware volumes, which includes a volume with all the mac software for office. Unfortunately, I am unable to run any of these programs. (examples: word 5.1, hypercard, macwrite, macdraw) because executor doesn't see them as executable.. all the files have the "scroll" icon (I assume for identifying text files). When I double click on Word (for example) it opens Tex-Edit (which is understandable if it thinks it's a text file). get-information reveals: creator: unix type: text note, the % files are getting created in these directories (which also, obviously, means I have write permission in these directories). So, is there a way to get executor to correctly "create" the creator/type (or read it from the information that's there -- is this a quesiton of getting it to be netware-aware, i.e., aware of the way netware stores the resource fork?)? attempts to change the creator/type (in this case, to MSWD and APPL) work (note, if you don't have write permission, it fails silently (you hit ok, no warning msg, but nothing changes). however, after i change Microsoft Word to be MSWD and APPL, executor fails with seg violation (note, the icon has changed to some dude with a red background (I think that's what it is)). I get the same behvaior when I start executor again and try to aceess word. same thing for hypercard 2.0 so I have no idea what's going on, so I think i'll stop here. can anyone help? thanks, Jason
