- We have indeed been quite busy working on the 1.99x->2.0 transition.
-
- Cliff's on vacation in Colorado right now, but he brought a Linux
- laptop along so he could do some work. Before he left he uploaded
- Executor/Linux 1.99c to ftp.cs.unm.edu:/pub/ARDI. We didn't make a
- 1.99c for DOS because the DOS changes weren't significant enough to
- warrant a new release, but we'll get back in sync when 1.99d comes
- out. 1.99d for DOS (and _possibly_ Linux and NEXTSTEP) will have
- totally revamped graphics support, allowing users more control over
- screen sizes and pixel depths. Changing these parameters on the fly
- will be possible before 2.0.
-
- Oh, and for you Linux users out there: my plate's pretty full these
- days, but I think I'll bring over the latest experimental Linux kernel
- and try to find out why it doesn't work with Executor. Since ARDI is
- running 1.1.51, we haven't seen this bug firsthand. The claim is that
- kernel 1.1.62 breaks Executor, but kernel 1.1.61 works? I've done
- Linux kernel debugging before, but if anyone has an idea what's going
- on, I'd like to hear about it.
