When MachTen is running, users have full access to Macintosh Finder and could simply run Macintosh programs. If MachTen is installed on a machine that will be shared by users who do not want to get involved with UNIX, they can simply use the Macintosh as a normal Mac, and not start up the MachTen application. On the other hand, if you always want to use MachTen, you can set your machine up so that the MachTen application comes on automatically when the Mac is powered up. Even with this setup, you can easily toggle from Mac applications to UNIX applications.
