Although Executor will run Microsoft Word 5.0 and 5.1, the installer
for Word won't run. Even Apple had trouble making that installer work
under MAE, their Mac emulator for Suns and HPs.

If you can send us a copy of the image of a floppy that crashes, that
would help. All you should need to do is say something like:
dd < /dev/fd0 > floppy_image bs=10k
Then you can uuencode floppy_image and e-mail it to us, or drop it
into ftp://ftp.ardi.com/incoming

That is strange and sounds like a bug in your X implementation.
Executor shouldn't be *able* to do that.

Yes, our first stab at International keyboard support hasn't helped
many people. We are getting valuable feedback and hope to have
something better by the end of the month.

Think C just doesn't work under Executor. Think C 7.0 gets further,
but it still can't compile or link. It's fairly low priority, too. Sorry.
