It may run under emulation but it is not the way to go since it will not offer the reliability an older OS will offer for the TF Server. There is a lot of reasons to run OSX and the multitasking is one. Mac OS X Server has been out a while and it has its own version of Apache which takes advantage of the multitasking etc or you could have been running a version of Linux and Apache for years now. But then you wouldn't have the BBS side or the ease of use and setup that TF offers.

When OSX finally comes out you may be able to run the client in emulation mode.

The reason I run a web server and BBS is for the people who use my system. I think it will be a good while before everyone is running OSX. I don't have that many users on a G3 or G4 with enough memory to be able to run it. Even at that the folks who are running OSX will be able to access my system via the Web interface.

I wish I could say that the program is being updated or carbonized to work with the OSX but it is not. The useability of TF will till go on. We still sell new copies to newspapers and folks who are tired of running First Class. Gannette News bought a new copy to use to cover the Olympics. They said they could find anything as flexible in allowing their folks to get the stories and pictures in. We don't get as many Web Star converts as we once did but we do occasionally. As long as the program provides the services people need it will still be around.
