Does the “xxx” software package run on top of MachTen?
Most UNIX software packages can be ported to MachTen in a straightforward way. MachTen is a “vanilla” Berkeley system, with standard BSD libraries. To run MachTen on systems with small amounts of memory and without UNIX virtual memory, it is sometimes necessary to avoid large automatic variables by using malloc/free. For the 68K version of MachTen, a Ported Application CD is available with sources and MachTen executables for hundreds of public domain applications. This Ported Application CD is included when you purchase Professional MachTen 2.3. A Ported Application CD with native PPC applications is also available for Power MachTen.
