- OK, I couldn't resist. How about this: emulate Mac programs *only*, i.e.
- forget about the Finder, etc., and rely on the Win95 shell instead.
- Ideally, one would double-click on a Mac application existing as a file,
- or set of files, in the DOS file system (with long file names), and
- Executor would be invoked, providing (1) 680x0 emulation, and (2)
- rerouting / execution of Toolbox calls. Sort of like OS/2's "seamless
- Windows" integration.

- Kinda cool... OK, maybe I *am* dreaming...

- Good job Cliff & Co.!

- PS: I will be delighted to be your customers -- just get full System 7
- emulation to work :-)
