What I said was: "...had Coda been implementing the changes for Carbon incrementally, the adaption to MacOS X would be comparable to a minor upgrade." I don't think you really know what I'm talking about because you are not a Mac user and are incorrectly trying to make parallels between Apple's migration strategies and those from Redmond. My post to Jari went some way to explaining that. Please read it again. > I can't believe anyone with your level of sophistication should > say such a ludicrous thing. My offer for living proof is available, but better than that example is the one by Stoney Ballard who was able to release his port of a 6 meg dual platform some months ago. That's probably because he did the Mac portions correctly in the first place so there wasn't that much to do. I'll post you his email privately if you would like confirmation of the amount of time it took him and what it entailed.
