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.,

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