Here is the entire appnotes file from Executor 1.99k, the latest DOS demo 
version available on oak.oakland.edu (I assume the DOS and Linux versions are 
similar enough in capability that the Linux version's list is similar, but I 
don't have a TAR program on the machine at work so I didn't check):

============================
While we're still finding and fixing major bugs related to our color
implementation, we're *not* doing much extensive testing of applications.
In general, right now we're looking for and fixing as many color related
(and an occasional filesystem related) bugs.  After we have those under
control, we'll hire some student workers and do more exhaustive testing.

The purpose of this list currently is to give you an idea of what we're
working on and the general class that various applications fit into.  The
possible classes are:

	Green -- thoroughly tested; no bugs that would prevent the vast
		 majority of users from using this application.

	Yellow -- less well tested or known bugs that prevent some
		  functionality from being usable.  At a minimum, the
		  application must be able to read and display its
		  own document types.

	Orange -- Will take mouse and keyboard events, but has enough
		  major bugs to make the application unusable.

	Red -- Will not come up, but is still considered a target for
	       a better class by the time 2.0 ships.

	Black -- Will not come up no, nor is it expected to when 2.0
		 ships (with possible System 7 spoofing exceptions).

	Ether -- Application hasn't been tested yet but has already been
		 purchased or ordered

This file should only contain listings for "commercial" software.
Shareware, Demoware and Freeware will be in a separate file.
The comments after the "--" may contain jargon that only ARDI employees
understand.

======================================

I like the comment about Maelstrom--"almost playable on a P90."  Maelstrom is 
a freaking asteroids game--why should you need a P-90 for it to be playable!?  
Note further that there are NO programs on this list that are code green 
(known to work flawlessly).  Here are a few important programs that do not 
work:

Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Photoshop    (most popular Mac image manipulation software)
Aldus PageMaker
ClarisWorks        (most popular Mac integrated package)
CodeWarrior
FileMaker Pro      (most popular Mac database)
Microsoft Works
Microsoft Word     (most popular Mac word processor)
Microsoft Excel    (most popular Mac spreadsheet)
Norton Utilities
Quark XPress

Executor in its current form is simply not acceptable as a Mac substitute, and 
it is certainly ludicrous to claim as one person did that Executor "out Macs 
the Mac."
