Perhaps the answer is to let the user decide which apps should know about executor and which should not. A command line switch is too global, but perhaps some flag that can be set (like the 32 bit compatible flag in file info?) to allow the app to recognize executor and then let it run x86 code on demand? I doubt that Apple will sour executor. The reason for this is that ARDI plans to license System 7.x from Apple, no? =================================================================93======= + ^ + | Ray Arachelian |"They that can give up essential| \-_ _-/ | \|/ |sunder@escape.com|liberty to purchase a little| \ -- / | <--+-->| |temporary safety, deserve neither|6 _\- -/_ 6| /|\ | Just Say |liberty nor safety." |----\ /---- | + v + | "No" to the NSA!| - Benjamin Franklin| \/ | =======/---------------------------------------------------------VI------/ /GCS d++(---)(-) H s+++/++ !g !p !au a- w-(+) (!v|v) C+++++ L++ V+/ /P?
