Hello all:

The old Cocoa you're talking about was sold and renamed Stagecast 
Creator.  As others have mentioned, it's totally differerent from the 
present day Cocoa.  It is a simple and easy to use and designed for 
kids.  My daughter has it and likes it a lot.  She made several of her 
own arcade style computer games with it.  It's java based and according 
to the system requirements will run on the MacOS, including X, Windows 
and Linux.  Here's the main page link:

Here's what they say about Cocoa:

> Stagecast's products build upon an Apple Computer technology formerly 
> known as "Cocoa", adding a number of valuable enhancements. For more 
> information about Cocoa and its applications, Macintosh users may 
> visit Stagecast's Cocoa Download page or 
> http://www.kidsdomain.com/games/cocoa.html. Note that Apple, having 
> licensed the technology to Stagecast, does not support the former 
> Cocoa. Apple now uses their trademark Cocoa to designate an unrelated 
> technology used by software engineers to develop general applications 
> for Mac OS X.
