Now that you mention the feature freeze... The tools that generate the Carbon bindings on OSX (that is most of Mac/Modules) currently process the Universal Headers, which are basically the OS9 SDK. I'm contemplating modifying them to use the system headers instead, which would make it possible to update the Carbon bindings and support API features that were introduced in OSX. It is however rather unlikely that I'll manage to finish this before beta1 is out. How hard is the feature freeze? Would it be possible to update the Carbon bindings after beta1? Given Apple's focus on backward compatibility the update should only add new functionality, not remove existing functions/types.
