 ===== Description ===== ===== Description =====
 Executor is a software application for Windows and Linux systems that allows users to run older Macintosh applications. It's not a true emulator - and so doesn't require a ROM image or a copy of Mac OS. It resembles an emulator, however, as programs are run via a GUI designed to mimic Mac OS. On an x86 Machine, Executor can run many (but not all) applications designed for System 6 and some designed for System 7. Users running Executor in Linux on a PowerPC machine can run some PowerPC applications.  Executor is a software application for Windows and Linux systems that allows users to run older Macintosh applications.
