I don't read this group regularly, but I did do a Google search and
couldn't find any recent speculation or news about how anyone is coming
along with a classic environment on the mactel machines. (Apart from running a Mac emulator on top of the windows environment!)
Is there anything new since the speculation that was around when the
new machines were introduced?

It's been more than 5 years since OS X debuted. More than enough time to >move on to applications that run in OS X.
This is the part of the thread where someone pops in and announces that
he just can't live without KaleidaGraph 2.1 and the Oscar-the-Grouch extension that animates emptying the Trash.

Doesn't work, won't work, time to move along.
Nope. Nothing new. Classic is not supported on Mactels and will never be supported by Apple.

Yeah. Good luck finding anything as neat, clean, and useful as
ClarisCAD.
(I know CadIntosh is decent, but it's got a steeper learning curve).
Anyway, I can't imagine it'll be long before some sort of SheepShaver
thing is integrated into Parallels software.

Yeah, provided the applications you use are still being update or
sufficient replacements for them are available. That's only true for
most software, though; not all. That's _why_ there are Amiga and Apple
II emulators around and getting active development in 2006.
What applications don't have reasonable replacements available? Maybe there's a development opportunity here.

The main one we're concerned about is a particular cookbook program (Mangia!). There are plenty of "replacements" available -- but *none*
of them have the particular combination of features it has, and *none*
of them have at least one specific feature we use. A number of them
also pride themselves in having a Mac OS-X look and feel: we want
something that has a cookbook look and feel! There is also the
problem that the data is stored in a "proprietary" format, so while
there are ways to transfer it to other programs (print to file and
import with something that attempts, with varying degrees of success,
to parse the ascii text) that's a problem too.

Just try going into a "stereo" store now and try to buy a receiver
and tuner. Unless you're handy with a sodering iron and scope and
shop on eBay, you won't find anything that isn't a 5-channel
entertainment center.
I felt the same with AddressBook, CodeWarrior, FrameMaker, and
FontMonger. But I found substitutes.

What did you find for FrameMaker? I have many many documents in
FrameMaker ...

I was previously using Ready, Set, Go!, but Indesign and or Quark are
more prevelent. I'm not saying they are a feature for feature
replacement or can read the old files. I said I found another
application to use instead.
It seems to me that what *should* happen is that Classic will be run
under emulation within OS/X. Classic apps will run slower than they
would if they could run natively, but, as processor speed continues to
pick up, emulation under Mactel may actually be faster than native
under the processors available when Classic ruled the waves.

I'm very serious about it: I really am looking for a FrameMaker
replacement - unfortunately none of the above are close enough for
longer structured documents.
I do not know of any other application that does this.
Pages from Apple is ok if you do not need long document features (cross-references, multiple chapters as individual files) - and
suprisingly simliar in some areas.
It is a pity Adobe never did a version for Mac OS X,
especially as
FrameMaker started out on Unix and still works on other Unix flavors
