Indeed. I tried Ardi Executor which does late System 6 and early System 7.
I used it happily before for running some old System 7 software that work 
colleagues used,
like Adobe Photoshop etc (yes, before the age of Gimp!) with success a long 
time ago.

The 68k RoyalT complains Executor is not sufficient. It looks like the last of 
68k RoyalT needs System 7.5 or above (this is when GX was introduced anyway). 
And the first of PPC RoyalT does not run beyond System 8.5. System 7.5 to 8.5 
is unfortunately quite a small range.

I wonder if the Classic version of AAT editor supports GETDATA . That's System 
9 onwards, but I have not been able to find a binary. Alexei is more savy with 
internet search engines and may be able to help ?:-).
