Mmmm... There appears to be alot more complexity to the Mac OS's than I 
thought.

As for what enviroment it was coded for well I can't tell you but on 
their information page they do say "MYOB AccountEdge runs on Mac OS X 
(10.1/10.2), Mac OS X (Classic) and Mac OS 8.6 to 9.x."

Does that information help? I can't quite understand the information you 
gave me and tell if it is Carbon, Cocoa, Blue Box, yellow bird or green dog.

I know the information is there I just can't understand it.
