Colour Quickdraw most definitely runs under Executor, *but* see below.

Some programs get confused by things that Executor does (or doesn't
do) that a real Mac won't do. Sometimes they get so confused that
they print error messages that are not particularly appropriate.
Either that is happening, or Jetpack is doing something unexpected to
determine whether or not we have Color QuickDraw.

I'm not sure what you're asking here. I *think* you're asking where
to pick up Color QuickDraw. Executor *will not* work with the old
32-bit color quickdraw init, but it does have a color quickdraw
equivalent built in. The conflict between Executor and JetPack will
have to be fixed over here (ARDI). I've just started pulling it over
and will give it a spin in a few minutes, in between answering e-mail.
Internally we can now run with the switch "-system 7" and are
beginning to be able to run programs that *require* System 7. NIH
Image 1.58 is limping and we're making great progress on a bunch of
other big-ticket applications.
BTW, yesterday I thought I'd get my e-mail box cleaned out -- I was
dreadfully wrong. I wound up getting tired sooner than I thought and
so I still have about 65 e-mail messages to reply to. I'm getting
there though and I *think* I'll be awake for several more hours.
