Are you sure?
Authored by: kyngchaos on Jul 05, '02 11:27:02AM

I've seen Carbon apps that don't have the "Open in Classic" option (tho I think there's a way to hack that option to be available). Illustrator 10 is an example here - it doesn't have the option, but I KNOW it's carbon.

And, I see many Carbon apps that have language options. Again Illustrator 10 is one, as well as Photoshop 7 (which DOES have a "Classic" option, also).

And, Show Package Contents? Same here. A Carbon app can be a Package.

Agreed - these rules don't seem to be hard and fast. Internet Explorer is a package, it has a 'Languages' section in Get Info, and it won't open in Classic - but I believe it's Carbon, since it's affected by Silk.

grep Terminal.app and you'll find files in there that refer to NSApplication - the Cocoa class for all apps. I can't think of a reason why this would be in a Carbon app.

Besides, Terminal's been around since the days of NeXTStep - way before Carbon ever existed. So why would they port it to Carbon?

Open process viewer, anything called LaunchCFMApp is a carbon app.

Then open top, and look at the process ID in process viewer, and look for it in top, to see the real name.
