The switch is "-system 7", not "-system7".  You can also say "-system 9"
if you want.  :-) If you want to be more specific you can also say
things like "executor -system 7.1.2".

The "-system" switch is only present in recent "bleeding edge" updates
(e.g. Executor 1.99o8).  Basically, it makes Executor pretend to be
system 7, and enables some system 7 features.  Much of System 7 is
unimplemented, so "-system 7" is not the default.  It makes some apps
run, like NIH Image 1.58, and makes some apps break.
