You don't particularly need 64-bit for regular applications - this is only needed for extremely memory-hungry processes such as database servers and audio/video editors. And frankly, I wouldn't build those in Revolution to begin with. Now I'm pretty sure that Revolution is built on Carbon for Mac-specific features - though the bulk of the code is cross-platform C++ which they could layer Cocoa on top of - this is how other cross-platform application vendors such as Adobe do it. So I wouldn't particularly worry about this Carbon vs Cocoa non-debate. Apple is not going to drop the Carbon API in Snow Leopard, even if it was decided not to make Carbon 64-bit. Jan Schenkel.
