At my previous job, we started doing that soon after I started. This was an enormous app with, jeez, I forget, like 150 dialogs? There were 4 of us that could do Mac dev, plus still keep up with normal release cycles. 3 years later, all but 1 of those 4 were laid off because the new owner moved the company to Colorado to be with his other bought-up company. In those 3 years, we made a small dent in the Carbon->Cocoa, and that was only because 1 guy would work nights and weekends coming up with ways to automate parts of the process. We'd continually run into weird problems when trying to have Carbon and Cocoa windows up at the same time. But that was quite a few major OS versions ago. I'll just say it's not a fun process, especially when it's this many years after the "Carbon is dead" announcement. My choice would be to do it as a rewrite. -- Steve Mills Drummer, Mac geek _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
