Yeah, I've gotten a real work with Cricket Graph under Executor/DOS 1.2 
(unfortunately, it won't work under 1.99x experimental versions, but Ardi 
people are confident of fixing this flaw.  Even under 1.2, you can't use 
cut&paste feature of it, though).  I ran Executor/DOS under Window's DOS 
box, made some graphs, and saved them as PICT format graph files.  I used 
Corel Draw for Win to read and edit the PICT files created by Cricket Graph, 
then pasted them on Word and PowerPoint for Win to create a paper and some 
slides for presentation.  I would say this is a real work;-)

Now I'm trying to enhance/analyze some microscopic images using NIH Image
that runs under Executor/DOS 1.99h.  Some problems still exist with it, but
most of the functions seem to be working fine.  NIH Image can generate
PostScript output as a disk file, so one can print the processed images
even though Executor/DOS itself doesn't support printing.
