Hi Peter, Are you up for a solution that requires three stacks? If so: 1. Leave you main stack untouched, except for a preOpen handler I'll describe in a moment. 2. Create a minimal stack, eg: "Classic Libraries", and place the classic externals in its resource fork. 3. Create a minimal stack, eg: "OSX Libraries", and place the OS X externals in its resource fork. 4. In the preOpen handler for your original stack, determine the version of the OS and start using stack "Classic Libraries" or "OSX Libraries" as appropriate. BTW, in all the years "start using" has been around I don't think anyone has fully explored how it can be used to change a stack's operation, look, and/or environment on-the-fly. The potential power of a simple "start using" statement is almost unlimited.
