I believe they are planning this eventually, now that MacOS (as they 
call it these days) is available for sale to non Apple manufacturers.

Pretty low priority really.  Generally only games have this problem, 
in my experience.

This lot would take a huge amount of work.  lets let them get what 
they have done bug free, first eh?

Hahahaha!  You joke, don't you?  Do you have any idea how hard that 
would be?  Besides, if you use Linux you already have it - just run 
multiple copies of executor!

They probably will eventually, but let's get the DOS/Unix versions 
working first, eh?  the DOS version apparently runs under Windows 95 
anyway, so there's hardly any rush, is there?

It's essentially what you asked for above; executor will try to fool 
programs into thinking they're running under System 7 when they're 
not.
