- I have seen a number of reports of Executor for Linux "running". Please:
- could you also say *what* runs? Just Executor? Or a program that's not
- included in the .tar.gz file? The demos should run, of course. But does
- anything else?
-
- My own experience is rather bleak. Wwhat I wanted most was HyperCard.
- Well, it shows a card or two. After that, it crashes with a
- Segmentation fault. ResEdit does that immediately. MPW loads a startup
- screen; after that, it just dies.
-
- A most annoying side effect is that, after running Executor, I no longer
- have keyboard autorepeat.
-
- As to successes, TeachText and PocketForth seem to run just fine. Another
- editor, Edit II, also runs, albeit extremely slowly. In all cases,
- however, the keyboard layout is very strange, and I don't know how to
- change it.
-
- I've been using kernels 1.1.61 and 1.1.35 - it didn't make any difference.
- XFree86 is version 2.1. I tried the DOS version, too, but that version
- didn't allow me to put almost anything on the disk.
-
- To sum it up, I feel the Linux demo has been announced a bit too soon.
