I have a pet program that I run every now and then to see how
compatible new MacOS's are.
It's a simple Backgammon game dated Dec. 12 1984. Although it's
pre-Multifinder, it behaves pretty well without a window border. It
doesn't know the quit event either.
Still works on my 8500/G3/400 in the Classic environment on OSX; this
is probably its last stop. The only problem is it moves the pieces so
fast, I can't see where they came from. This is a serious flaw that
Apple should do something about;-)
