As another new user of the Linux version of Executor (1.99d) I have couple
of questions.  I noticed that this version could run Word, and I would like
to be able to let my wife run this under Linux instead of windows (I have to
keep rebooting to let her do her stuff).  What version of Word runs, how 
would I install it.  If I can get this to work, I will be even more excited
about this product and will get the check off as soon as it starts selling.
Also, I get a segmentation fault sometimes when running this after I have
had X up an running for a while.  It runs fine if I start it up after X
comes up (and my xterms come up), basically as the first application.  Is this
somehow related to it being a demo?  My setup is a Micron P5-90 running Linux
from the Slackware distribution (I think it is 2.1 or something like that.
It was the October 94 release and right off hand I am not sure of the kernel
version, but 1.99c did run). 

What is (will be) the difference from the demo version and the commercial 
version?  When will ARDI officially be selling the Linux version? 

I am curious to know what other linux users have done with this emulator,
ie, what types of applications you run with it.  Have you found any that
are especially good (good games, utilities etc), that are publically available?
As it may be apparent, I am not very familiar with the Mac world, but this
product opens up some very interesting possibilities.  Where is the best
source (read that as anonymous ftp sites) for apps that will run with the
emulator?

Thanks,
Gregg Jensen
