1) AppleWorks 6 - which while mostly replaced by iWork, is still in use by quite a few people. iWork has yet to implement a database module.

2) compiled AppleScript scripts - a certain number of those were compiled, and generated PPC binaries, and not UB. beware.

I thought Bento was supposed to be the replacement entry-level database?

Yea, AppleWorks 6 was one of the first Carbon apps, and BTW Apple did not eliminate any Carbon APIs in the PPC->Intel transitions, meaning that all your early Carbon apps still using QuickDraw, WorldScript, the old pre-Carbon Event Manager, the old pre-OS 9 File Manager limited to 31 character filenames etc. can still be recompiled for 32-bit Intel.

1) Bento.

2) Applescripts do not compile to machine code.
