What version of OS X do you have?
You may be better served registering your Starcraft CD with Blizzard and then downloading (for free once registered) the latest version of the program. That's what I did, and then I applied the latest patch (install was one patch behind), and it works just fine on my 10.5.5 Leopard OS.

Try this installer
http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/starcraft/patches/Mac/Starcraft_Installer_1.05-B.sit
I've never used this one before, so I'm not sure what you're in for. Hope it helps out.

Why do you run it in OS9 environment, when you could get it for OS X.

If I had to guess, I would assume it's because OS 9 allows StarEdit to run (the World Editor).

If you lost your CD, but still have your CD key, you could register to http://us.battle.net/index.html and input your CD key there which allows you to download the game client.
