As per a previous message, I'm trying to use executor to do 256-level
grayscale nih-image. Having realized that the 256-level needs 2-meg
of video memory (ie. needs true color and I have only 1 meg on my Linux
machine), I decided to try executor on a DOS box with 2 meg. Alas,
Executor says "maximum resolution 640x480 and 8 bpps" (or something
similar). How does one get E/D to do true color? I have not yet
purchased executor as I am unable to verify it can do what I need
to do (possible limit for unregistered versions?)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Gerry
P.S. has anyone used 256-level grayscale nih-image with executor?

I saw this question go through here a while back, but never saw an answer. I use
Executor on my Linux box here at work. (Linux version 1.2.13, for those who care) It
is also set up as a Apple File Server speaking AppleTalk via the UNIX Netatalk
package.
The question is this: Does ARDI have any plans to have Executor be able to
interpret the contents of the subdirectory that is being exported for the other Macs
to use? I'm not asking that executor be able to go out onto the net and read what
other Macs are exporing via AppleTalk (yet) ;), but just to interpret what is local
to my hard drive.
The problem is that it seems to use different mechanisms for handing the resource
and data forks than executor. Whereas executor has "FILENAME" and "%FILENAME",
Netatalk seems to have the "FILENAME" and then a whole bunch of information in
subdirectores called such things as ".AppleDesktop" and ".AppleDouble" and "Network
Trash Folder".
Am I hoping for too much? It would be wonderful to have my co-worker drop a Word or
Excel document onto my machine via AppleTalk and then just fire up executor and
double click on the docuement to launch the application.
Thanks,
