Executor 2.0/executorv2.0.iso/pc/dos/extra/docs/maillist/text/archive.96/text0015.txt

Hello,

I'm interested in switching from the Mac to another machine, either
Unix-based or NT.

My only real problem is one program--Symantec's MORE.  I have many
megabytes of data stored in MORE format, and as far as I know there's no
compatible program to import the data into.

So I want to either run MORE under NT or a Unix system.

Will Executor fill the bill for me? Has it been tested with MORE?

Does it run under NT? Linux?  FreeBSD?

Thanks,

Gary Robinson

I haven't heard of MORE (although perhaps other ARDI employees have).
It might work under Executor, it might not.

    Gary> Does it run under NT? Linux?  FreeBSD?

Executor runs well under Linux, but does not yet run under NT.  You
can download a free demo of Executor from http://www.ardi.com and give
it a try.

Why cant you use the thing in OS/2 to make an image of a boot disk, then
run it in a window. I have done it once. Make a DOS 6 boot disk with the
CD-rom driver and MSCDEX.EXE and then make the disk image of it for OS/2.
I cant recall how it was done...

O.K. Here is my bug list for 1.99q that i'm still waiting to be fixed:

McDraw II v1.1 Still doesn't print right.

If I tell McDraw to save to a PICT file then try to load it into another
program I get mixed the following:

(If you want any of these tell me and i'll tell you where to get them
since they are all freeware, shareware, and public domain.)

Graphic Converter 2.2
  When I open the PICT file executor gives me a box that says:

Executor: Fatal Error
qPict2.c:55; in 'C_GETPICTINFO'
unimplemented

Graphic Manipulator (version unknown)
   When I open the pict file executor gives me a box that says:

Executor: Fatal Error
main.c:1060; in 'unhandled trap'
at pc 0x2EC070 illegal instruction

Clip2Gif 0.6
   At program start executor gives me a box that says:

This program appears to be using Apple Events in a way that is not currently
supported under Executor you may try to continue but in all liklihood
Executor will soon crash because of this incompatibility.

  Options: Continue - Crash to Dos
           Restart  - Executor recovers back to the browser.
