I think you recognize that that's not what Darcy was saying. He was
pointing out that the Macintosh design has always been one of single
applications handling multiple documents in a clean way. Thus, it's
not like getting older applications to work this way is a matter of
redesign.
To answer your question about System 6 applications, however, many
older applications (including ones from System 6 days) will run nicely
under the Classic environment on OSX.
