MacOS X has a compatibility mode for running "traditional" MacOS 9
and earlier applications. Certain API and library calls were
modified, and some eliminated, so to permit coding consistent with
the Mach kernel. This compatibility mode for awhile was code-named
"carbon." See, e.g.,
http://developer.apple.com/macosx/carbon/
There was a program called a "carbon dater," which read a code
resource, abd checked the API set for compatibility. See, e.g.,
http://developer.apple.com/macosx/carbon/dater.html

Running squeak on Macs under OS X would be a good thing.
