Support for the Mac version of Warcraft: Orcs & Humans? #36

A while ago I was playing around with the old releases of Executor for DOS and Windows, and was able to run the demo, and then the full version, of the Macintosh release of Blizzard's Warcraft: Orcs & Humans. This release features revamped high-res graphics and other differences from the original DOS version of that game.

While both the demo and the full version (included in the GOG.com release) do play, there's a huge glitch in that almost no screen is shown in the correct palette (I posted some screenshots here). It seems that the problem is caused by fade-in and fade-out effects which may be based on palette cycling.

Could you please look into this sometime? It would be nice to have full support for the game because of its unique differences from the DOS version, and Executor is AFAIK the only option that allows you to run Mac software without the need for an actual copy of MacOS and the BIOS ROM.
