Executor is just like all other "mostly compatible" things. It works
perfectly with everything but that which you want it to run. I've run
Lemmings, Netscape (w/ screwed up colors), and that's about it.
Nothing much will really run, and you can be assured that you won't
be able to install a program because there is no system folder (the
least of the install problems; the most is missing system calls).

I was wondering what the point was of the resource fork, who invented
it, how it's better than a simple bunch of characters, and why they
didn't think that 20 years later we'd be ripping our hair out because of
it...
