After a lengthy introduction on emulators of all kind (comparing the hole in 45 rpm singles with the smaller hole in 33 rpm LP's so that you needed an adapter to play singles on most record players; kind of an emulator - totally missing the point if you ask me), one of the editors (Stephan Selle) writes: ... Windows lovers talk in general in a negative way about the Macintosh, polemic and without any objectivity, when we Mac-users are capable of proving the superiority of our systems with facts. However in spite of their justified case it seems that also in the Wintel world every now and then the mind goes towards Mac software. For those now 'Executor' comes to the rescue, a program that emulates the MacOS on Intel computers. At this moment the disguise only goes as far as System 6.0.7, but when Executor is succesful ... Apple, normally very eager to salvage its crown jewels, cannot do anything, because creator Ardi has substituted the Finder by a hierarchic file list and does not violate any Apple copyright. Otherwise a succesful Executor could make Apple's weak licensing policy unnecessary; every supplier of Intel computers can supply, next to OS/2 Warp and Windows, a Mac operating system on its harddisks. ...
