The Backgammon game, which is doubtless not 32-bit clean, might well run under vMac or one of the other Mac emulators for OS X.

As for WriteNow, since there was a NeXTSTEP version, it might be a relatively simple matter to update it to Cocoa. That's one of the specialties of the Omni Group. Any idea who now owns/has the source code for WriteNow? (As for Improv, I'm fairly sure IBM wouldn't release the code.)

Interesting history this program's had, btw. For 6 years, it was owned by Steve Jobs and/or NeXT.

It was not a no brainer for me. OS X will not run my favorite Backgammon program, Backgammon, created on Thursday, December 6, 1984. That program has been with me since 6.0.4 on my Plus in 1988 through 9.2.2. : ) And I am sure if someone has a 128K Mac, it will run fine on that

Also, I am in the process of giving up my favorite word processor, WriteNow created on Wednesday, Feb 9, 1994. It works in classic but has had display issues ever since OS 9.
