On 10.3 with no Classic environment, the OS says "can't find your 
Classic environment..." or some such dialog.

Maybe there is some magic executable flag you can tweak with ResEdit to 
get this thing to run in OS X? Who knows what that flag might be 
though?

I think requiring Classic is not really an option. Newer Macs can't 
even boot into Classic natively, and if one forgets to install OS 9 
before installing OS X, then you are SOL and don't have a Classic 
environment at all (like me). I guess I could try removing my OS X disk 
and then seeing if I can boot from my OS 9.2 CD then - but what a pain.
