ARDI's Executor

Does anyone here remember Executor, by ARDI? It's a Macintosh emulator for DOS and Windows and Linux that was first released back in 1993. It's famous for not requiring a ROM image.

Here's the Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executor_%28software%29

I mention this here because Executor has recently gone open-source and the developer who created it has been working on it again. Also, it should be possible to compile it for OS X. This, however, has proven very difficult and the people on my emulation form have had no success with it.

Does anyone here want to take a look and give it a try?

The source is here:

http://github.com/ctm/executor/tree/master

And the required Syn68k is here:

In some cases, Executor is better than Basilisk II or vMac. And, of course, not having to download a ROM is really nice.

I sure do remember it. The problem is that the author had to leave out some components (I believe UI related) due to commercial licensing (HE licensed them from someone else), iirc. I'll check it out anyway.
