Run it in OS9?
Run FMP3?

Its a problem with the way they coded it.  Since 3 and 4 are file  
compatible it shouldn't matter much.  There are a few differences but  
if you aren't willing to upgrade to 5.5(first carbon version) then  
odds are you aren't using the extra features.

This is all going to be moot soon anyway since the Intellimacs don't  
run classic at all.
