Thanks much. I will look at that link.
Does it make sense that in the earlier days of OS
X, that programmers could have linked to this CFM library using CodeWarrior? I
am trying to figure out how Notes C programming used to work on a Mac, but now
does not?
Thanks.

to the installed Notes libraries, the link operation fails. The error I get
is "not a Mach-O file". Notes itself runs fine on the Mini, so its binaries
are working.
What tool can I use to tell me about the
contents of the Notes binaries? I have tried nm, which tells me that the
file I am examining is not an object file. I have tried otool, which tells
me nothing. The file I am trying to link with is named NotesLib, and I
believe that it was a valid link library, although this may have been back
in the OS9 / CodeWarrior days.
This is most likely a CFM shared library. You cannot link with it
using Xcode, but you can write code that dynamically loads it and calls its
entry points, using Apple's sample code CFM_MachO_CFM.
This library will not work on an Intel-based Mac.
