No, with the possible exception of the CD-ROM.  The version of MSCDEX
that Windows '95 provides doesn't allow Executor to directly access
the CD-ROM drive, so it can't read Mac formatted CD-ROMs, so you need
to boot to DOS and use the older version of MSCDEX (this may require
you to adjust your config.sys and autoexec.bat files).

http://www.ardi.com/ is our home page.  You can get to the FAQ (and
other good stuff) pretty easily from there.

Mac floppy?  If it's formatted at 1.4 Mb, then the floppy should just
work.  If it's an external Mac hard disk, you'll have to have ASPI
loaded.  In either case you should probably make an HFV and copy from
the original to your HFV and test within the HFV.

Executor 2 is late into beta.  We're hoping to burn our first attempt
at a master E2 CD-ROM sometime this week.  Version 3 is mostly just a
twinkle in our eyes now, although some significant work on VCPU and
serial ports has been done and we're also talking with Apple, which
could dramatically speed things up.

*Many* programs will not run under Executor.  Check the FAQ and check
ftp://ftp.ardi.com/pub/AppNotes.  We're in the process of both
updating the info in AppNotes and reformatting it so it can be
accessed through Melissa's new Web interface, but that's taking a
while since we're also pushing hard at getting E2 out the door as well
as lining up money with which to advertise E2 as well as talking with
Apple about ways in which ARDI and Apple can cooperate.

    Eric> Thank you for your time and patience....

We thank all our customers and prospective customers for their time
and patience as well.  It may appear that things are relatively quiet
over here, but still waters run deep.
