- Hi Folks,
-
- I've now generated the first experimental version of Executor/DOS and
- put it in the directory ftp.cs.unm.edu:pub/ardi/Executor_DOS. You'll
- want to pick up the README and ".zip" files in there if you want to
- see this first experimental release.
-
- There's not a whole lot of new features in the new release, although
- it does support CD-ROMs and a "-nodrivecheck" switch (which prevents
- the floppy drives and hard disks from being examined every time you
- punch the "drive" button).
-
- In general, many more apps now run than did before, although
- Lemmings, which used to run, no longer does, and the StuffIt
- programs, which were working in the lab, *aren't* working in this
- particular snapshot. I'd recommend this snapshot only to adventurous
- people, or to people who have been having filesystem problems.
-
- In addition to fixing the Lemmings and StuffIt related bugs, we'll
- also start keeping a more formal log that will show what the various
- new experimental releases do.
-
- If you don't have the commercial version of Executor/DOS 1.2, then
- you will not be able to use this new version; instead of putting a
- fully functional copy of Executor in the .zip file, we put in a set
- of patches that convert the fully enabled 1.2 version into a fully
- enabled 1.2a version.
-
- Please let me know if you are able to use this update. In the past,
- this newsgroup has been used primarily by our NEXTSTEP customers, so
- I really have no idea how many of our DOS customers already know
- about this list. I'll make an effort to alert more DOS users to this
- list when the next experimental version comes out.
