News: Executor ready to run Mac apps on Intel PCs
By David Morgenstern
Pushing Mac software toward alien desktops, Abacus Research and
Development Inc. will expand platform support for its Executor Mac
emulator. Version 2.0 will run on Intel-standard PCs, in addition to the
Unix and NeXT platforms currently supported.
The $249 software, due in March, will run most System 6-compatible
applications, and many "well-behaved" System 7 programs. ARDI said a
90-MHz Pentium system will offer speedier performance than a Quadra 610
with a 25-MHz 68040 processor. A $99 "pre-beta" is available now.
ARDI said the updated emulator will read Mac floppies as well as hard
drives. It will not support applications that depend on System 7.5
features such as QuickDraw GX or QuickTime. In addition, Version 2.0 will
not provide network and serial connections.
According to ARDI, the emulator is aimed at cross-platform users and sites
moving from the Mac to other platforms. Version 2.0 will support DOS,
NeXTStep, OS/2, Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and Unix systems.
