This seems like a good opportunity for me to report on my success running
MacLink Plus 7.0 under Executor. I've been transferring mac-created text
files (html files are just text files, right?) with no sweat to my PC
side. It does create two files, which is disconcerting, but apparently the
PC word-processors see them as one file. I've been reading in the
transferred file and re-saving it right away as a unitary file, just to
feel more comfortable with it. Then I delete the two original files. In
fact, I've even transferred a file, then used an FTP client to upload it
even while the two fork files existed. Works fine. For formatted files,
I've so far used RTF a few times with success. I'm quite pleased with this
arrangement so far. 

I've also been experimenting a bit with transferring SuperPaint (v2.0) 
files over to the PC side. It's a bit convoluted, as the only file format 
I can currently read on the PC side is TIFF, but I have succeeded in 
moving a couple of pictures between the two environments. Now if I could 
just get text to work on the draw side of SuperPaint, I'd be a happy man!
