Jerry, thanks for responding to my question about carbonlib. My reason for inquiring is that I download a game from Mac-Yun-Soft and it would not run. When I contacted Mac-Yun-Soft they said to be sure I had the newest version of Carbonlib installed on my Mac. I do not know if carbonlib is already on my Mac or not, I can't find it. Also, I checked Apple Support and could not find a download. Is there anything I can do? Appreciate your help.
