Will there ever be a "carbonized" CM?

Well it is sort of a pun smile.gif. First some background. With MacOS X (ten) the OS will be BSD unix with a GUI interface. In order to do this the earlier MacROM calls and OS calls had to be converted if the application was to run native in MacOS X. To simplify this and to delete problem children, only a subset were converted, which form the basis of life, carbon. Older Mac programs MAY run under Classic, which sounds like a Mac emulating an older Mac. Classic will have all the problems that plague the Mac now, e.g. a single appl can bring it down forcing a restart, cooperative multitasking, etc. But MacOS X with still be running fine, so no warm reboot.

So to carbonize a Macintosh program is to convert it to run native under MacOS X.

(Corrections welcomed)
