No, EXECUTOR (they like it in all-caps ... must be something to dow tih
all the DOS poisoning they've been exposed to ;-)) is a commercial effort,
so the source is not available. There is a freely-available demo of
EXECUTOR which'll run for five minutes, then quit.

Also, EXECUTOR doesn't come with the Apple System & Finder (for obvious
reasons), so it is designed to run Mac *applications* rather than being a
true Macintosh emulation system.
