Bruce writes, <That is flat wrong. AW6 was, like Apple's very first OS X native program, they used it as a showcase of Carbon programming libs. It's a dual program, it'll run under both OS 9 and OS X, but I"m running it right now in 10.5 which does not support Classic at all.> Ken writes, <I have Appleworks 6 running under OS 10.4.11 on an MDD. It is in fact, "OS X native" and runs whether or not Classic is running. and Clark writes, <AW 6 is Carbon and therefore does run native in OS X. Just verified on my (intel) MacBook Pro and OS 10.5.5.> Really?! My version of AppleWorks 6 is also 6.2.9 and though I don't recall why I did this (it was probably over a year ago), I remember one time I decided to stay up on Tiger but shut down Classic, and, my two "old" programs which had been on (i.e., running in the background, in the Dock) -- Claris Emailer and AppleWorks 6 -- both quit when I shut off Classic. ??? :-O ??? I thought that apps which open/run fine in OS 9/earlier or OS X with Classic on, but which don't open at all without Classic on or quit when they're open if you choose "Stop Classic" were applications which are not OS X native. That's wrong? Yikes, I'll have to try this again, as a consciously done experiment (i.e., shut down Classic) and see what happens to my AppleWorks, plus try to open it with Classic off. I could swear I remembered it (and Claris Emailer) quitting out on me when I stopped Classic that time. ~Yersinia. ________ "If you've got a problem that can be solved with money, you don't have a problem." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
