Well, the entire port? I can't say. I understand that if I hack the filesystem API into Carbon, it would actually be OS9/X cross-compatible. Other APIs would require similar effort. The WebTen guys actually offered the OS9 port some time ago, IIRC, but they were deemed 'too radical' for Apache 1.2/1.3 or whereever we were then. Obviously APR introduced the possibility of bringing in these sorts of patches. I'm more worries about how convoluted it would be to build APR under the native OS9 environment. Bill
