In my last episode, we ran ARDI’s Executor on a NeXTstation, a Macintosh environment on NeXTSTEP. Strange enough already. But what if I told you you could do the same on DOS, and even OS/2 and Windows? In this episode we explore Executor for DOS, test it on MS-DOS and Novell DOS 7 (formerly DR DOS), and then push it further inside OS/2 Warp 3.0 using the Virtual DOS Machine. And yes, we also hunt down the elusive Win32 build, and try it on a real Windows 9x system, including a 486 DX2-66.
