Largely historical.  Executor has evolved in such a way that we are
more flexible than we used to be but are not yet fully cognizant of
international keyboards.  This is an area we hope to improve after E2
is out.  It is hard to cut such an important feature out of the E2
feature set but once E2 is out we'll be able to hire some more
engineers and then do a much better job in many areas.  Since we'll be
making updates available via the net, getting E2 out now and releasing
an update that helps later will be faster (because we'll have more
engineers) than postponing E2.

I'm not sure exactly what's happening, but perhaps it is a conflict
with your Preferences.  If you could send the EXACT error message to
bugs@ardi.com we might get a better idea of what's going wrong.  In
the meantime, try looking within System Folder:Preferences to see if
there is anything that may have been created by Photoshop that you can
remove.  We have Photoshop 3.0 but not 2.5.

The Word 5 installer won't run under Executor.  If you install Word 5
on a real Mac and then bring the files across, Word 5 itself will run
fairly well under Executor.
