Hi,

Actually to think outside of the box, ALL you need to do is to detect
ANY essential lower level process that can be found ONLY in OS X but
will not be found in OS 9.
Examples are the Window Server or /System/Library/Core/pbs (pasteboard).
If you really need to check for classic then you will have to look
for the string "TruBlueEnvironment" when the list of processes is
returned to you.
