But it shouldn't be disabled or removed. It should quit the program. 
Isn't this possible while still allowing the same binary to run under 
both Mac OS X and Mac OS 9?
(BTW, has CodeWarrior finally fixed their debugger problems?)

BTW, I had to do some hacking of the application bundle to get it to 
run...it doesn't seem to have a Contents folder, Info.plist, *.app 
extension, or any of the normal application bundle stuff...why?
After renaming the bundle with the *.app extension, adding the missing 
contents, and moving stuff around a bit, it seems to work fine under Mac 
OS X (aside from a few interface anomalies), though I haven't tested it 
under OS 9.2.

Also, it seems like the standard include folder would fit better inside 
the bundle. The user can add their own include folders, and if they 
really need to get to the standard includes they can still do so, but I 
don't think they need to be a separate folder.
