I haven't done much with Carbon frameworks lately, but the overview at <http://developer.apple.com/intl/text.html> seems to disagree with your assertion. >Moreover, wouldn't carbon disappear eventually? Wouldn't Apple provide >more support for CoCoa apps? Not really, for the exact reason that there are a huge number of apps out there built around Carbon, and to kill Carbon would be to kill those apps, which would be to kill the Mac. Carbon was devised for the very reason of enabling forward migration for current apps. If Apple wanted to kill everyone's current investment, they would have done so long ago. This has been discussed time and again on the apple dev lists; take a look. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
