I do keep DecoderPro running on MacOS 8.1 through 9, but I agree that it's really a dog. Startup performance is particularly slow; on my 90MHz test machine, it can take 20+ seconds for the program to load and start. That seems like forever. During programming operations, it doesn't seem so bad, as you're just clicking controls and waiting for the command station to do its thing.
But it does work, and I intend to keep it working so that people with older Macintosh hardware have something they can use to program decoders.
The layout-control half of the code is much more problematic on earlier Macs. They have trouble keeping up with mid-size layouts.
