Macintosh Application Environment

The Macintosh Application Environment (MAE) is a software package introduced by Apple Computer in 1994 which allows users of certain Unix-based computer workstations to run application software designed for the classic Mac OS.

MAE uses the X Window System to provide the Macintosh Finder graphical user interface in a window. It includes a license manager allowing floating network licenses.[1] The final version, MAE 3.0, is compatible with System 7.5.3.[2]

MAE 3.0 was designed for Solaris 2.5 and later and HP-UX 9.05 or 10.10.[3] It was discontinued on May 14, 1998.
