If you have blindly follow Apple documentation advices, your project should use only technologies supported by 64 bit frameworks, and transiting your project to 64 bits should be easy. So if Apple decide to drop 64 bit, (and if you are a developer you will know it before it appends, thanks to the OS beta), recompiling your project for 64 bits should not be an issue (except if you have a lot of assembly). -- Jean-Daniel _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
