[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 648154, member: 3850"] A bit of clarification of the above (do I spot a trend? ;)): Carbon is a collection of "calls" a programmer can make to the system from an application. Initially "Carbon" was designed to make transitioning apps from OS 9 to OS X easy. It is still being maintained, but in future Apple has indicated developers should start focusing on Cocoa (Carbon will also not be made available in a 64bit compatible version). But there are plenty of apps that are Carbon based that aren't OS 9 compatible... iTunes, Finder, Final Cut, Photoshop are all Carbon apps that ditched OS 9 support a looooong time ago. [/QUOTE]
