Running in 16 color mode at 640x480, grabbing a card and moving it around very quickly can sometimes leave unerased card 'sections' on the screen. Also, the game background color changes as the card is dragged. A few mac emulations points. (1) If you click in the menubar and move the mouse down before the menu appears, the menu won't appear until the mouse is returned to the bar. On a mac, the menu will always drop down. (2) Some of the navigation keys are missing from the File Selection box. <TAB> on a mac will cycle disks. I don't remember whether executor gets this one right or not. CMD-<up arrow> will jump to the parent directory on a Mac. Canvas 2.0 under X crashes with the following error when the cursor is first moved: executor: XError `8': BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) X_CreateCursor It runs OK under SVGALIB, but the cursor is briefly replaced by a 16x16 (or so) black square. I think Canvas is trying to blank the cursor. In any event, executor generates an invalid cursor under X in this case. Finally, Photoshop 3.0.4 still dies with a "Disk error" message after the message "Measuring memory". I've tried giving it as much memory as 64M. Keep up the good work! --Bill Magro
