Old applications compiled for Mac OS 6 to 9 can still be used on todays Macintoshes through the use of an emulator.

Classic is the emulator provided by Apple up to Tiger (Mac Os 10.4) but discontinued with Leopard. It was a convenient solution for compatible applications but the classic environment introduced some extra incompatibilities as compared to Mac OS 9.

SheepShaver is a third party emulator which supports Mac OS 6 to Mac OS 9.0 and can be used on any PPC or Macintel Macintosh under Mac OS X.
