Apple 8600 appendix You experience problems using an older Macintosh program

You see a message that your application program can’t be opened because a file can’t be found.

Macintosh programs designed specifically for the PowerPC microprocessor (also called “native” applications) use special files called “shared libraries.” Any necessary shared libraries should be installed automatically when you install these special Macintosh programs.

Follow the directions that came with your program to reinstall it. If the shared library is still missing, contact the software program’s manufacturer for assistance.
