- I've used Executor for quite some time on black hardware (NeXTstation).
- The use I've had for Screen Updates is to get HyperCard 2.1 to limp
- under older versions of Executor. I'm using Executor 1.3c, and if I
- set the refresh rate to 10, I can see the HyperCard cards. It worked
- well enough for me to copy pictures from HyperCard stacks for inclusion
- in a chapter I wrote about HyperCard for a soon-to-be-published book.
-
- I'd also like to vouch for Executor in general. I wrote the chapter
- mentioned above in Microsoft Word for compatibility with the book's
- editor. Executor worked like a charm. Word didn't do such a hot job
- of importing EPS pictures from Diagram. And it occassionally claimed
- that it ran out of memory. These seemed to be Word problems rather
- than Executor problems.
-
- I'm looking forward to a newer version of Executor that will let me
- do more with HyperCard than display the cards. I'm intrigued by Cliff's
- comments about discussions with Apple's MAE group. I just tried MAE
- on a Sun. Hmmm.
