- There is an excellent Mac emulator for the NeXT -- Executor from ARDI.
- It doesn't run everything because some Mac apps aren't 32-bit clean,
- but it does fine on Microsoft Word 4.0 and 5.0 and Excel 3.0 and 4.0
- as well as most shareware.
-
- Last I heard, the retail price was $360 with an educational price of
- $180. You also need to buy the Mac software you want to run and may
- have to install it on a Mac before bringing it to your NeXT. You do not
- have to buy any Apple software or hardware.
-
- Executor does not emulate the Mac finder. It runs applications that
- run on Macs.
-
- To contact ARDI:
- Abacus Research and Development, Inc.
- 1650 University Blvd., NE
- Albuquerque, NM 87102
- 505-766-9115 (no 800 number)

- Cliff Matthews is ARDI president, and his email address is
- ctm@ardi.com. I forget which email address to use for info, but
- Cliff is very friendly and has a wonderful product.
-
- By the way, it is pronounced as executor of a will rather than as
- a person on a death squad.

- I am in no way associated with ARDI as anything more than a customer.
- Send me personal NeXTmail only if you have told me in ASCII why it
- is important.
