- I have noticed certain bugs in Executor. There are bugs within the file
- system. When I try to rename a file, under the \System\Utilities
- subdirectory from a lowercased to a uppercase name, the file disappears.
- I also tried to use Stuff-It!, ver 1.5.1 to compress Tank Commander. I
- also make a subdirectory called Tank and Tank Commander. I tried to
- compress the file into the later folder. However, when I did it and
- exited, I tried to use Stuff-It! to access the file. However, the
- Exsystem.HFV became corrupt. (I.e. when you change subdirectories under
- the standard dialog box, I couldn't change the folders. This occurred
- when I tried accessing the \System\Utilities\Tank Commander folder.) I
- tried to repeat the process using the Tank subdirectory. Again, this
- occurred. Why does this occur? I also noticed that Executor crashes when
- you run the SoftPC Installer program, and when trying to decompress
- certain SAEs. (SAEs are Self-Extracting Archives.)
- I have also discovered that when I try to download a file from a
- Macintosh BBS, that neither Macindos nor Executor recognizes the file. I
- have called Apple Computer, Inc. and told them this problem. The
- representative told me that the creator signature is somehow lost.
- DOS does not support the Mac HFS filing system. So, when you download a
- file from a Mac BBS, you lose the creator signature. Therefore, Executor
- can't recognize the file. I also experimented and found there was a copy
- of Pkware's Pkunzip/Pkunzip compression program supported in ZipIt!
- 1.2.6. By using ZipIt! 1.2.6, the resource fork, data fork, finder fork,
- headers, and creator signature are remained intact in the archive. I have
- also noticed that Stuffit Expander crashes. Finally, I've concluded that
- you can also use UUencoding/UUdecoding in order to transfer files from a
- Mac to a PC using Executor. Thank you for your time.
