"Runs natively on Mac OS X and Mac OS 9.2!!"

...how can it run natively on both systems? I always thought a carbon app ran natively on system 9 and a cocoa app ran natively on X, or am I mistaken.

you are mistaken. Carbon is native in OS 9. Native in OS X. Cocoa is another completely separate OS X framework which is also native.

How?? - Mark Douma

To expand on that slightly:

CFM (Non-Carbon) - runs in OS 9 only.

CFM (Carbonized) - can usually run in both OS 9 and OS X. (Example: most Adobe apps.)

Mach-O (Carbon) - Carbon application that will only run in OS X. (Example: Finder, QuickTime Player, iTunes)

Mach-O (Cocoa) - Cocoa application that will only run in OS X.


"CFM" (Code Fragment Manager) is a fancy way of saying "OS 9 executable format."
"Mach-O" is a fancy way of saying "OS X executable format."

Hope this helps....

OSX is in reality a Cocoa thing. All the rest is bullshit.

Proof is only Cocoa apps are (practically) ready for Intel (just a recompilation!)!
