We plan to add Carbon API for this task in Leopard. Until then, we recommend using either the deprecated Quickdraw API, or NSCursor.

I once tried using NSCursor in a Carbon app, but was unable to get it to work. I ended up faking a cursor using a little overlay window. 

I certainly have no inside information, but I'd say that in this
case you're almost certainly going to be fine using the deprecated
QuickDraw calls.  If it's a concern the future safe thing to do
would be to add a runtime check and use the new API for Leopard
(once that's available).

If you mean QDRegisterNamedPixMapCursor, it doesn't work on all Macs, so I considered that unacceptable. And I needed cursors bigger than 16x16, so I couldn't use older QuickDraw calls.
