You know, it's odd that someone would post the above to a group "comp.emulators
.mac.executor without stopping to figure out what the group is for....!!!!

FYI, Executor IS a mac emulator for the PC, running quite well under DOS, 
Windows, NextStep, and Linux.  Granted, it's compatibility is marginal, but
it is improving quickly, and it does run a lot of applications (see the
compatibility list at ftp.ardi.com).  It does this WITHOUT using mac ROMs,etc.

It is available at ftp.ardi.com, and at vorlon.mit.edu. Jeez, you have a right
to your opinions on what OS/platform is best for you, but avoid misinforming
people with earnest questions!  

Cheers, and a happy New year to you!
