Dear Bruce Moore, your question is important. Some time ago I've reported my experience with Carbon in connection with my "CustomChoose"-Demo (should still be in the DropBox). Fact is: A Carbon compiled program can behave differently under OSX-native, OSX-Classic, and OS 9.x.x. Consequently, you should test and perhaps modify your code under all three OSs -- if you or others wish to run it under those three. (Even after spending about 2 months, I couldn't remove all glitches from "CustomChoose"-Demo under the three OSs. It's really tedious. That's why I presently stopped developing under Carbon.) Actually, my observation is only important if you distribute or sell your programs to others. Best, Herbie ******************** Munich / Bavaria
