- Hi Folks,
-
- Half of 1.99d has been released: a transmog file for our DOS paying
- customers and another Linux demo. We haven't yet released a demo
- version for DOS, nor a new NEXTSTEP version, because we're in the
- process of changing which (and possibly how) sample apps are included
- with Executor.
-
- In the meantime, our funding situation from NTK has improved a little
- bit so we've purchased some long overdue software that we'd like to
- test under Executor. Specifically we now have the latest copies of
- (in no particular order):
-
- 7 Metrowerks CodeWarrior
- Nisus Writer
- Quark XPress
- 7 Microsoft Word (6.0)
- 7 Microsoft Excel (5.0)
- 7 Microsoft PowerPoint (4.0)
- WriteNow
- Filemaker Pro
- ClarisWorks
- Swivel 3D Professional
-
- We'll be buying some more applications (Aldus and Adobe) after we've
- cleaned up some of the backlog of testing, firefighting and e-mail
- answering. We're also doing a lot of testing of apps/demos that we
- pick up via anonymous ftp or are available on the BCS-PD CD ROM.
-
- NOTE: The applications with a "7" next to them "require" System 7.
- We will try to do enough System 7 "spoofing" to get these
- applications to work, but if that winds up being more trouble than we
- expect, we may release Executor 2.0 without the ability to run some
- of those apps, and have to put such functionality into a later
- release.
-
- I realize we still don't have a list of what runs and what doesn't
- out, but we're working on that, too.
