Hope that clears it up....
Exactly! Proves _every_ respondent's point, but, to underscore:
OSX != Win32API
Cocoa != Win32API
Carbon != Win32API
Mac Applications != Windows Executables
Study any Apple sample code (please!); notice immediately that MacOS
(event driven) apps don't need old-model while-not-quit-do-loops, I/O
polling and WaitMessage locks. And that just begins your adventure....
My recommendation for porting Win to Mac : Charge Hourly, never a
fixed-price contract!
Good Luck!
