Executor has some System 7 support already, which can be enabled in
the alt-shift-5 preferences panel.
Although Executor does not emulate a 680x0 FPU, Executor already uses
your Pentium's math coprocessor to do floating point math. Most Mac
programs use the "SANE" toolbox to do floating point, and Executor's
SANE implementation uses your coprocessor (if you have one).
Most Mac programs can't use the 680x0 FPU directly. For those that
can, emulating a 680x0 FPU would speed up their floating point
substantially.
Executor may emulate a 680x0 FPU someday, but it's a fairly low
priority.
