I'm on a Mac and because ALL the new Macs are Duo Core CPUs
and OS 10.5 aka Leopard is now UNIX behind the Apple GUI,
earlier Mac applications CANNOT run on the new machine and
latest OS. Apple earlier had a "Classic Mode" which allowed
new machines and OS to emulate the "classic" systems. Alas,
they've decided to go with a Clean Break - No Looking Back
approach. I'm hoping that at some point someone will come
out with an "old system" emulator that'll let me continue to
cling to applications I know like the back of my hand and can
get it to do things I'm sure the original developer hadn't even
thought of.

Microsoft has it right with all they do for backwards compatibility. I
can still run my old programs 10 years later, with no emulator or
simulator... and if your new program doesn't use any new features, I can
run it on older versions of Windows.

You might want to do a search for "Mac emulator" and see if you can get
some free emulation software. It's out there for the Windows platform,
but I'm not sure about Mac.
