- Executor has some System 7 support already, which can be enabled in
- the alt-shift-5 preferences panel.
-
- Although Executor does not emulate a 680x0 FPU, Executor already uses
- your Pentium's math coprocessor to do floating point math. Most Mac
- programs use the "SANE" toolbox to do floating point, and Executor's
- SANE implementation uses your coprocessor (if you have one).
-
- Most Mac programs can't use the 680x0 FPU directly. For those that
- can, emulating a 680x0 FPU would speed up their floating point
- substantially.
-
- Executor may emulate a 680x0 FPU someday, but it's a fairly low
- priority.
