   Works fine for me from MSDOS-6.  No windows involved.

That's why you only use it for programs that DON'T exist on the pc.  
Things like MSOFFICE that exist in both worlds will run just 
fine on your pc if you get the pc version.

This will work but you MUST get files that have the '.hqx' exention.  If you get
any other kind of file then you don't get the resorce fork so you can't use
them.

If you have a '.hqx' file on your hard drive (gotten from the internet)
then go into executor then go into compact pro (system drive) chose 
downloaded->application and give it the file on your pc hard drive then when it 
asks where to save the converted file save it to a '.hfv' (fake mac drive)  
Might also be okay to save to a REAL mac drive but I haven't tested it.

One more note to consider: Some installers don't work.
