I doubt it. IIRC the format was directly dependent on QuickDraw - from
Wikipedia:
Applications using QuickDraw will still run under OS X 10.8
through macOS 10.12; however, the current versions of Xcode
and the macOS SDK do not contain the header files to compile
such programs.

This is one of the benefits I've come to appreciate with open source:
data longevity. When formats and the code needed to operate on them are
free and open, data can never die.
Proprietary formats only live as long as the vendor chooses to support them.
I have a hard drive in my archives filled with data dependent on
software that no longer runs on any modern OS.
