Hi Is there anything in particular? (other than Quark!) Apple's policy is mostly based on Apple repeatedly telling developers not to rely on features of OS 9 and earlier. There may well be future releases of OS 9 (9.3 etc), but these will not boot into anything other than 'the classic environment' They will have the advantage of being able to replace large areas of old code. This should make the classic environment faster and less resource hungry -- they are very aware of many users who still rely on quark. I know of no plans either to drop 68k code support in classic. This is important to me since several of my best bits of work avoidance software (games) date from the late eighties... bye for now Keith Cooper Northlight Images http://northlight-images.co.uk Photography - Digital Imaging - Apple Mac Consultancy Tel +44 (0)116 291 9092 Mobile +44 (0)780 162 9397 =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
