Well,
If I owned the Mac version and did not have the money to buy DOS versions
of software Executor might be a good option.  Especially in the case of a
word processor app, which will not take a major hit due to the speed loss.


Also, Executor seems to work better with slightly older software, which is
often available second hand at significantly less than up to date products.
While this is an extreme example, I just purchased Aldus Pagemaker v.4.0
for $20 Canadian, it should work on Executor (after I buy it, it would take
longer than ten minutes to even install it!)  This will allow me or others
to use this product on a second machine for significantly less than the
price of a new version, and doubly so if I intended to purchase both MAC OS
and Windoze versions.
