i had that problem?

You may know allready but Apple Computer has released their new OS named MacOS X or MacOS 10. It has a new sleek, water-like interface, and is based on unix. The problem:

Since MacOS X runs on unix it requires a new type of application, which has to be built under MacOS X in an application called ProjectBuilder. This creates native applications that use all components of the system. But what about the OLD applications for MacOS 9 and earlier? Apple Released a library (dll) call CarbonLib that could be used in place of all other libraries. If a carbonized application was run under MacOS X it would look and feel like a MacOS X application, but only slower (simce the system has to convert all CarbonLib calls to core services calls). Then there are the applications that havn't been carbonized or never will (eg Jazz). When you open them under MacOS X, MacOS 9 boots up in a emulated environment. Any non carbonized applications will look and feel like a MacOS 9 application.

Carbonized applications can be run on MacOS 9 or 8 if you have the CarbonLib installed.

Now that you've had the intro, onto the problem:

REALbasic can compile for Window 95, 98, NT, ME & XP, MacOS 9 & 8, and Carbonized applications (MacOS X). I compiled for each. I tryed the MacOS 9 version and it connects and works. Then i tryed the Carbon version. "The list server may be down". Now i can test the windows version since i dont have a windows box anyware.

I'll see if i can fix the problem...
