I personally don't have a choice - my application was developed in CW  
and one of the intermediate steps to get it into XCode is to convert  
it from Carbon CFM to Carbon Mach-O.

Apple seems to think it is a worthwhile exercise since so many  
Macintosh applications have been written with CW...

The entire thing compiles, links and runs - with the exception of Quesa.

Sure...

Including the OpenGL and AGL frameworks - no problem but as soon as I  
include the Quesa framework - it tanks.

I did - before I posted but the confirmation email I sent didn't take  
- had to send it again - and send my post again.
