Install Executor Executor comes with a standard setup program that quickly installs Executor to a single directory. Launch Executor 4. Simply drag the desired icon or folder from the CD-ROM window and drop it in the window of your virtual Macintosh drive. Run the application Executor's user interface, called Browser, is similar enough to the Macintosh Finder that anyone with a minimum of Macintosh or Windows experience will quickly learn their way around. Executor does not run all Macintosh software perfectly.
Executor opens many possibilities for PC users, but one quickly becomes aware of the limitations.
Some applications simply will not run under Executor. Of those that we have gotten to run, many run less reliably than they do on a real Macintosh. Surprisingly, speed is not an issue - applications that run under Executor seem to run as fast or faster than they do on a comparable Macintosh. In some cases, the flaws are serious enough to rule out using the application under Executor. However, in many cases, slight changes in how you use an application may make it acceptable for classroom use.
