I have that program, and I have only been able to copy something
so that the mac could read it only a couple of times. There is a
problem of it being unable to copy a file with both sides of the fork
used (i.e. you can dump everything into the resource fork, or
everything into the data fork, but can't use both. Executor stores
the two as separate files, it would be nice if I could tell Mac-ette
to use bla for the data fork of bbb and blb for the resource fork
of bbb. Alas...)
