We don't have Windows '95, so finding out the answer to this problem
is difficult for us. I know some of you are having great success
running Executor under Windows '95, and I'm assuming that your success
includes E/D 1.99o.
Does anyone know a workaround to the problems discussed below? We'll
try to get them to not happen, but a workaround in the meantime would
be much appreciated.

Subject: executor 1.99o and win95

I am having a similar problem with executor 1.99n-1.99o under windows 95. I am
using the June Test Release (version 4.00.490). My computer is a P5-90 with
32MB ram with ATI MACH 64 graphics.
I let windows 95 boot, then open a MS-DOS Prompt window and run executor. If
I select the drive icon in the upper left corner and then double click on 'c/:'
executor hangs up. If I move the mouse around the arrow location seems to get
updated about every 15 seconds.
If I use F8 and boot windows 95 using '6. Command prompt only' executor does
not hang and will bring up the 'c/:' directory window.
If I you need additional information please let me know. I am willing to help
try to figure out what is wrong.
