MachTen is a Unix-like operating system from Tenon Intersystems. It is based on 4.4BSD and the Mach kernel, and features the X Window System and GNU programming tools. It runs only as a classic Mac OS application program (in a virtual machine) on Apple Macintosh computers.
MachTen development started in 1989, culminating in the first release in 1991. The Professional MachTen branch, intended for 68000-based Macintoshes, ended with release 2.3. The Power MachTen branch, which is Power Macintosh compatible, lacks some of the features of Professional MachTen (including true virtual and protected memory models), but takes full advantage of the PowerPC processor and is compatible with Mac OS 9 through its final version, 4.1.4. MachTen is no longer developed, and is functionally superseded by Mac OS X.

Comments
It is an OS within a virtual machine. The virtual machine literally boots into it. Nothing about it is an emulator: it is all 100% natively run.
You can still technically call it an utility, though, if you believe we can call virtual machines in general "utilities", since they are all programs run under a host OS.
Although this *is* an OS, a part of me wants to classify it as an emulator or utility since you can't boot into it.
I got it from MacsRUS, I just uploaded this stuff. I checked again against what I got from him. If it is corrupt, it must have been so in his archive already. Should we remove it or does someone knows a kind of way to repair it ?
The archive MachTen_4.0.3.sit is damaged. Error message is "The integrity of the data fork of "web2" could not be verified"
OK, I added it ! Now it is complete !
Very nice work kitch. But I'm _definitely_ not going to load this one up in Sh/Sh !!
- looks like it would be tricky to get going.
Can your append your current request to MacsRUS , to include
MachTEN 4.0 îƒ.sit
he accidently missed it out from my MachTEN requests a few days ago.
Hope that's OK - Don't want to hassle him for just one file , and I haven't had chance to put together a substantial list of my own yet , Cheers.
I have added MachTen 4 from MacsRUS's archive.
