{wiki=Macintosh_Application_Environment}
The Macintosh Application Environment (MAE) was a software layer developed by Apple Inc. that allowed users to run Macintosh applications on non-Macintosh systems, specifically on the AIX operating system used by IBM. It was a part of Apple's strategy to expand the reach of Macintosh applications beyond the Macintosh hardware. MAE provided a way to emulate the Macintosh operating system environment, allowing users to run Mac software on IBM workstations that could run the AIX UNIX operating system.
