I think there's a high chance Carbon will be "effectively dead" in 6 months time. Snow Leopard looms. (10.6), Carbon may still exist, but I wouldn't want to bet any future reliance on it. It's probably time for a new Cocoa variant of this stuff. Then again, I have to wonder about Snow Leopard and *any* 32bit applications... I didn't go to WWDC and even if I did, I probably couldn't share that information thanks to Apple's openness.

Almost certainly not.  The -F workaround is about new fork
semantics.  The capital letters thing may be that I missed an
OS X-specific fix in the X code, imported from p9p.
I hope someone will take it upon themselves to hook the
drawterm Carbon code in instead.

I think there's a high chance Carbon will be "effectively dead" in 6 months time.  Snow Leopard looms.  (10.6),  Carbon may still exist, but I wouldn't want to bet any future reliance on it.
