Wow, that's a lot of information !
Very interesting, thank you.

What about the "FATCarbon" module, or compiling a program as a combination of fat binary and Carbon ?


I forgot about FATCarbon.

It's a little bit harder (because you must stick to APIs that are common over 20 years of Mac OS history, or write small bits of separate code) - but you could use FATCarbon to create an app that runs on any color Mac with System 7 - the oldest being a Macintosh II (1987). I suppose even in theory you could get it running on the black and white compacts, too, as long as they have at least System 7, so minimum a Mac Plus (1986).

If OS X bundles (Mac OS 9 "packages") were supported on all old Mac OS versions, it would be possible to make a bundle containing both a 68k executable (for all versions of the classic Mac OS, even the oldest) and an OS X executable (possibly "Universal")
