I was succesfully able to install 9.1 using the CD that came with my powerbook, not OSX. Thanks all for your help!!

I am having a similar problem. I basically didn't isntall OS9 at all before installing OSX. If you didn't know, you're suppose to install 9.1 before OSX to be able to use Classic.

Thanks for your quick response. One thing you said that surprised me is "Objective-C". I thought it was a synonym for "C++"! So I guess there's a new version of C++ out there. I'm just done studying C right now. Gotta catch up! I'll look into Apple's developer web site. I was hoping...

Hi, I'm a fairly new programmer who have been coding some simple MacOS 9 PPC apps with CodeWarrior Pro 4. Now that OS X's release is coming close, I want to get ready to program Carbon/Cocoa apps. But, I am totally confused. I use CWPro4, and I felt the need to upgrade to 6. Does anyone know...
