- No, with the possible exception of the CD-ROM. The version of MSCDEX
- that Windows '95 provides doesn't allow Executor to directly access
- the CD-ROM drive, so it can't read Mac formatted CD-ROMs, so you need
- to boot to DOS and use the older version of MSCDEX (this may require
- you to adjust your config.sys and autoexec.bat files).

-
- Mac floppy? If it's formatted at 1.4 Mb, then the floppy should just
- work. If it's an external Mac hard disk, you'll have to have ASPI
- loaded. In either case you should probably make an HFV and copy from
- the original to your HFV and test within the HFV.

- Eric> Moreover, is version 2.0 out, and what about 3.0..
-
- Executor 2 is late into beta. We're hoping to burn our first attempt
- at a master E2 CD-ROM sometime this week. Version 3 is mostly just a
- twinkle in our eyes now, although some significant work on VCPU and
- serial ports has been done and we're also talking with Apple, which
- could dramatically speed things up.

-
- *Many* programs will not run under Executor. Check the FAQ and check
- ftp://ftp.ardi.com/pub/AppNotes. We're in the process of both
- updating the info in AppNotes and reformatting it so it can be
- accessed through Melissa's new Web interface, but that's taking a
- while since we're also pushing hard at getting E2 out the door as well
- as lining up money with which to advertise E2 as well as talking with
- Apple about ways in which ARDI and Apple can cooperate.
-
- Eric> Thank you for your time and patience....
-
- We thank all our customers and prospective customers for their time
- and patience as well. It may appear that things are relatively quiet
- over here, but still waters run deep.
