What? The 68k to PPC transition was from 1994 to 1998 (versions 7.1.2 to 8.1). The NeXTSTEP-derived Mac OS X (which uses .app bundles rather than resource forks) was released in 2001; though there were betas and developer releases as early as 1997, the OS transition is still distinct from the 68k to PPC transition and there were quite a few PPC-only releases of the pre-OS X Mac OS.
