These might not be the cleanest solution. I want the same binary to launch
on OS 8.6 or 9. But I think you can still try to bring in a Cocoa framework
at runtime to a CFM process though. CFM is required on OS 9. Mixing Cocoa
and Carbon is supposed to be better if you start with a Mach-O Carbon app
(Cocoa is Mach-O.)
Metrowerks MSL doesn't implement fork, popen, system, or exec. Calling them
in the POSIX framework might be similar to calling a Cocoa framework.
Here is an AppleScript to run L3P:
tell application "Terminal"
do script with command "setenv LDRAWDIR /Development/Lego.CAD/LDRAW/;
/Development/Lego.CAD/l3p/l3p -o pyramid"
end tell
