I have a PC running Linux in a mixed DOS/Windows/Mac/Unix environment. Executor is useful for me, even if just for the ability to read and write Mac disks. The Macs are most common around here, and it's also nice to be able to open up Mac Word to look at a Mac Word document instead of trying to have it converted, or wandering over to a Mac to look at it... not to mention that Mac Word is the only version of Word that actually *runs* under Linux right now, although Wine (windows emulator) is getting closer to working, and there is Wordperfect for Linux.
