Re: [MACTCL] OS9/OSX apps

[Jim I. <ji...@ap...>]

Peter,

I used the Carbon libraries to port the MacOS 9 code to Mac OS X, but I 
did not attempt to Carbonize the MacOS 9 version.  And I didn't make any 
attempt to restrict myself to the subset of Carbon that is supported on 
9 for the X port.  So you can't recompile the AquaTk codebase to run on 
9...

However, you can package up a 9 & a X binary in the same App wrapper, 
and I don't think (though I have never tried) that the 9 version has to 
be a Carbon app for this to work.  The System Overview document has more 
details on this.  If this is true, then the remaining problems are how 
to find any extensions you have, and how to find where you have stashed 
away your Tcl scripts.  If you stuff everything into the App package, 
the bundle API's can be used on X to find things.  I don't think you can 
use these on 9 'cause Tk is not carbonized.  But you could hard-code the 
relative paths to find things for now there.

Jim
