I had the impression that Carbon was the MacOS 9 interface for porting
old applications to the new windowing system.

But we are still a couple of months away from starting work on MacOS X
support.  Currently we are in a two month `Get robust' mode for all of
the underlying technology.

Thanks for the pointer, we will be researching that in the short future.
