This might be explained elsewhere on this forum, but I've been unable to locate it.
Does anyone know how OS9exec (supposedly, an environment to run OS9 applications) work? I downloaded the latest OS X package from SourceForge, and it contains an os9app_univ executable, plus three other binary files, rather unintelligible release notes and that's about it. How can this thing be run so that I can run an OS9 application? Double clicking on os9app_univ produces this output (in Terminal):

Microware's OS-9, unfortunately, is a completely different OS from Apple's Mac OS 9. See this page for the explanation:
