I must say, I am impressed...it really runs fast. I have seen a PowerPC running Windows, and it crawls compared to the reverse. Great Job!!! As far as usefulness is concerned, I can see at least one use (which is why am on this newsgroup at all)... I work in a mixed environment of Macs and PCs, and I have to make sure that documents I prepare on my PC look exactly the same on the mac (unfortunately, it seems like conversion tools still do a pretty poor job, especially for technical applications.)> Executor enables (potentially, anyway) me to do this on my PC easily. I say potentially, because some of the software I use requires system7. Any news on patches to enable this software? Have you tested any mainstream software which "requires" system7 but still runs on executor? Is there a software compatibility list anywhere? Thanks... once again, this is definitely a really impressive job! Vivek Subramanian.
