On any modern computer of any size, the operating system functions as this
"UN Interpreter."  The mac goes much further than this; namely, the Macintosh
Development Guidelines published in Inside Macintosh, the clipboard, and desk
accessories, the ROM, the OS, the scrapbook, etc., etc.  Because of these
"interpreters," the state of Mac software can be nothing other than
thriving (of course there is room for strides to be made), and the MAC
IS irresistable (in my humble opinion).
