Hi James,
I can't comment on the life-span of Carbon, but depending on your
application it might be more feasible to port to Cocoa/CoreAudio/etc,
than first expected.
Just an idea without having any idea the shape of your application:
If it's not already you can isolate the different portions of
functional code (this is a good idea anyway). Building a new
application foundation and interface using Cocoa is an easy task. Obj-c
is a small hurdle to get over, and once you do it's very nice. Then you
can port your remaining Classic API calls to Carbon. And from there you
can consider porting those over to CoreAudio or whatever needed.

Hi, I apologize if this question is too off-topic for this list.
We have a Classic Mac MIDI app which is really huge. The only remotely
economically feasible way to port this thing over to OSX is via
Codewarrior
and Carbon.
Can anyone hazard a guess how long Carbon applications will be
supported by
future versions of OSX? If there is much chance of Carbon apps
breaking in
OSX, within the next couple of years, it would not be worth doing the
conversion project.
Thanks for any ideas.
James Chandler Jr.
