- Hi Folks,
-
- ftp.cs.unm.edu contains
-
- pub/ardi/Executor_DOS/exexp12c.zip
- and
- pub/ardi/Executor_NEXTSTEP/Executor_130e.tar
-
- In addition to a variety of bugfixes, these versions of Executor have
- had a bunch of the inner memory management code revamped so that when
- you quit an application you go right back into the "pick an
- executable" dialogue box. People have been asking for this feature
- for years, and we're finally there. There's still a chance that some
- little bugs will create situations where if you run program X, it
- runs fine, but if you run program W and then program X, X has
- trouble. Please let us know if you find such a problem.
-
- This new feature will be used to put a tiny browser in Executor so
- that you'll be able to manipulate files or launch apps like you can
- do with Apple's Finder (although ours won't be quite so nice).
-
- Color is "limping" "in the lab". We're still at least three weeks
- away from making color available to test people, but I hope to have
- the other 2.0 features added by then as well. I'm hoping that within
- a week I'll have serial port support and a few more goodies, and if
- you experiment, you'll probably notice that more apps are running
- better than ever before.
