Nathan,
You really aren't creating multiple applications. It's one
application with multiple functions. Using bindings to keep each
section of the application talking to each other. I think it's very
do-able, but the UI design could be very messy if you keep it inside
of tabs and don't use other windows for certain functions, but that
is up to you in the end.

I am fairly new to Cocoa development, what a learning experience!
Question:
I have a friend who is a psychiatrist and wants to have a Macintosh-
based application to help her manage her practice: patient notes;
daily schedule; accounting; patient file management; etc. So my
introduction to Cocoa development. This is the design that I came
up with. First create a Cocoa Application that contains a
NSTabView. Then for each tab, use either a Foundation Tool, a
Cocoa Application, or a Cocoa-Document based Application depending
upon the identifier for the particular tab. For instance, it it
does not appear to be too difficult to create a "Daily Schedule"
application as a Cocoa Application in which the name of the
patient is identified with each hour or half-hour for a particular
day. Also, it is fairly trivial to create a Document-based
Application that allows the psychiatrist to enter patient notes.
As a matter of efficiency of operation, it would be preferred that
both of these applications were controlled by some "superior"
application. So, the NSTabView concept. Will this work? If so,
any suggestions about plugging the various, and different,
applications into a NSTabView situation?
