Here is a clue... The main executable file for
Notes on the Mac is called "Notes". When I do Finder / Get Info on this file, it
tells me that the kind is "Application". It does not say "Application
(PowerPC)". Does this mean that the Notes executable itself is not
Mach-O?
Thanks,

Thanks much. I will look at that

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?
CodeWarrior built code for Mac OS from System 7 through Mac OS X, so it
could generate and link with either CFM (Mac OS 7-9) or Mach-O (Mac OS X)
executable formats. Mac OS X also supports running CFM applications from
Mac OS 9 that have been recompiled using the Carbon model; if your library is
Carbon-ready it could be used by CodeWarrior native on X, otherwise it would
have to be used in applications running in the Classic compatibility
box.
Xcode is for building Mac OS X code
only, so it can only link Mach-O.
