That document is out of date. If you want to convert to 64-bit, you’ll probably need to convert to a bona-fide Cocoa application, since I believe that not only the GUI functions but the Carbon event mechanism itself is no longer supported in 64-bit. You’ll need a Cocoa run loop, and so you might as well write the whole GUI in Cocoa, and incorporate the lower-level non-GUI code from your existing code base where appropriate.
