Hi Neville, The filename is not exactly "Classic" but there is a Mac OS X application called "Classic Startup", found in /System/CoreServices/, which starts up the classic environment. That environment is called "TruBlueEnvironment" and runs as a process under Mac OS X. The TruBlueEnvironment process contains Mac OS 9 and any running classic apps. The name is probably derived from the early version(s) of the Classic Compatibility Environment (CCE), described at <http://developer.apple.com/macosx/classic.html>. Interestingly, this document indicates that early versions of Mac OS X did indeed have an OS X native application called "Classic". I think understand the fine distinction that Apple draws when it says that the CCE is not an emulator: Classic is not an emulation of Mac OS 9 but rather a 'environment' in which applications from previous MacOS generations (including the OS) may be run. HTH, Mr. Noyb. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
