The name of the program (the only one I know of that works anyways) if you're still interested is UAE (Unix Amiga Emulator).  It seems to work really well!  It's available for (don't forget to remove the .bin extension before decompressing!) : 
	
	Macintosh (Executor!)
	http://www-users.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/~crux/UAE-0.5.3.hqx.bin

	UNIX and Linux, NeXTStep, and BeBox
		v0.6.0 (release version)
		http://www-users.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/~crux/uae-0.6.1.tar.gz.bin
				
		v0.6.1 (experimental version, may not compile)
		http://www-users.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/~crux/uae-0.6.1.tar.gz.bin
		Note:  These versions need to be compiled.

	DOS v0.6.0
	http://tinos.pucrs.br/~ggoedert/duae060.zip
	Note:  If you don't have a program that decompresses .tar or .gz files, you might want to download the following:
	http://www-users.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/~crux/tar.exe.bin
	http://www-users.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/~crux/gzip124.exe.bin

The URL for the (main) author's web site is:
	http://www-users.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/~crux/uae.html
If you're wondering if UAE needs any ROMs, the answer is yes and no.  Yes, if you want to run Workbench and to insure most (if not all) programs will work.  No, if you don't care.  For those of you who do care, the following two URLs might be of use to you (UAE will essentially be usefull without either them or the file listed after them:

	KickStart ROM v2.0
		http://www.uan.mx/~daniel/kick.rom
	Workbench v2.0
		http://www.uan.mx/~daniel/df0.adf
	Note: If you want all versions of KickStart ROM and Workbench, then send an email to his email address which can be found 	on his web site:
	http://www.uan.mx/~daniel

For those of you who don't care, you should get the following file instead (UAE will be essentially useless without either it or the previous two files):
	
	RSI Megademo Disk 1
	http://www-users.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/~crux/rsi1.adf.gz.bin

P.S. Ardi, why don't you have the LeftWindows key work as the Command key, the RightWindows key work as the Option key, and the Application key work as the Reset key for people who have a Windows 95 keyboard in the next version of Executor?
