carbon is an api [toolbox] common to Mac os x and macs with the 
carbonLib extension.
this is generally the case for all macs from 8.6 on, and people using 
system 8.1
can use the extension but will probably not get full compatibility.

there are differences between mac os x and classic and these will 
probably need
workarounds [conditional compiles].

there are a series of articles on staz's site at:
<http://www.stazsoftware.com/carbon/>
to help explain this. if you see stuff missing, then ask for it.

if your target audience is both mac os x and classic then you should 
test in both.
if your target audience is only one of these, then you should test in 
that.
