I have been toying around with the Marathon Demo with the latest beta
or Executor.  I haven't been able to do much becuase I didn't know the
keyboard command for movement, but it seemed to run without crashing.
I only noticed two problems:
	Only works in low res mode.  High res mode operates, but the
	graphis appear in strange colors.
	
	I couldn't pass any dead bodies.  I don't know if this is a
	probelm with Executor per say; I have never played it on a real
	Mac and have never read any docs, just install and play.
