>Because they've been unsuccessful in completing the reboot, releasing the sources is a way of apologizing.
They wanted to publish the original source code from the get go. Here's an article from mid 2016 talking about it: https://www.gamezone.com/news/system-shock-s-original-source...
>Since the instructions mention a PPC requirement to build on Mac, I'm assuming these are fairly old.
The game was released in 1994, so yeah, they are old :-)

The (partial?) source code for Thief 2, SS2 etc. was leaked a few years ago. You can still find it on the Internet.

I'm pretty sure CodeWarrior was able to deal with any kind of line endings: CR, LF, CR+LF.

>I have no idea if that version of the data would work with this version of the engine, though.
IIRC the Mac version doesn't use the original data files, but converted them to use the Mac's resource file format. And judging from a quick look at the source code it doesn't contain support for the original data files.
So: no, you'll have to use the Mac version's data files.

Which in some cases might make it cheaper for customers to use their own hardware, resulting in cloud providers losing business.

Given that there's a topic "hypercard_xcmd-xfcn" I'd wager they are. Archive.org is essentially emulating a Mac Plus that runs HyperCard in the browser.

Fun fact: The game Myst was created in HyperCard (at least the original Mac version was).
That's probably why it was removed.
