But you can print from Executor, that is, you can create a Postscript-file
and print it on any Postscriptprinter, or you use Ghostscript, a free Post
Script emulator, an print it on almost any printer.
You 're right about the risk of buying software. Read Ernstout.txt for a
solution (but I agree it's not a pretty one, and I hope your software seller
agrees with this solution).

Ofcourse you can use your PC to download files. Remember the 8.3 DOS
restriction when you download files, especially when you download more than one
at a time. There is a risk that you overwrite a previous file when the first
8 and last 3 characters are the same.
When you downloaded them and got the files on your hard disk (I assume c:),
you create a Mac volume with MAKEHFV.EXE, start Executor and copy the file
from c: to the Mac volume. Then in most cases you have to decode the file with
BINHEX, Stuffit expander or so.

BTW, you can download Ghostscript from ftp.cs.wisc.edu/pub/ghost/aladdin,
or take a look at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/index.html.
Whoops, I assumed you where using Executor for DOS. Where you?
Good luck.
