Running older programs

I have an old Recipe database program that I noticed has a mac version on the install disks. However it wants OS 9 to run in and would not install even though I tried opening "OS 9 classic" on my new PowerBook. It said something about some kind of OS 9 folder not being present.

So..what does this mean? Can I run older programs on my PowerBook or not and if so then how?

Patience, Patience. Mac-Forums does not exist solely to answer your questions. Heck, we're not even getting paid. :mac:

Anyway...http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86775 should answer your questions. Have a good one.
