Thanks to the folks who replied. It was easier to ask the list than to keep searching for the answer. I’m obviously not at WWDC. That’s about when I will likely retire anyway (I’m 71, so it may be time), so this is great news. I know Apple has warned us for years that Carbon was “deprecated,” but I’m too old to start over once again! But this gives me enough time to either find someone else to carry on my work or else warn my loyal users about what’s coming.

All 32-bit applications (including those using Carbon) are still supported and run on 10.13 High Sierra. It was announced on Monday that the next version of macOS (i.e. 10.14) will run 32-bit applications “with compromises”, which could be a dialog warning the user on launch. And the next version after that (i.e. 10.15) may drop 32-bit support entirely. In short, it will be at least 2 years before a macOS release that drops 32-bit support.

But I’m guessing that with the new High Sierra and it’s 64-bit architecture, that there will no longer be the usual “translation” procedures that allow Carbon applications to run. Is that true? And if it is, we all knew this was coming someday, but it seems like awfully short and not entirely clear notice. Not surprised since it’s Apple, but still . . . . Ann K.
