This emulator is by ARDI (http://www.ardi.com), and they have
versions for Linux, NeXT, and some other operating system with
wierd filenames ending with 3-characters (e.g., "*.ini", "*.exe").
There is a newsgroup in the comp hierarchy, something like
"comp.os.emulators.executor".
Executor does not support all system 7 features, but it does
run many productivity apps. The Linux version will read and write
MacOS floppies, which is very convenient. I have tried a few
Mac biology apps like MacClade, PAUP and DNA Strider, and they
seemed to work (not really tested them, just played around).
Executor is not free, but educational licenses are v. cheap
($50-100 US for single user).
