Distinguishing Carbon vs. Classic apps

Carbonic 1.01, a tool from Noah Pepper Software for checking whether or not an application is carbonized, has been released in final form with the 1.0 release. The new version sports numerous bug fixes, a new 128x128 icon, and "better OS X support." (Readers report that using the 'Get Info' command on an application works as well.)

    or better yet...

    if you are in coumn view in the Finder you need only click on an application for it to tell you if it's a Classic application. They are listed as "Classic application" rather than the normal "Application".

    The whole concept of this application is BS. You can link to Cocoa, Carbon, neither, or both.

    What it's probably doing is looking for the carb resource or something equally inane.

    why this product?

    OSX can tell you already if a program is carbonised or not, i don't see how this prog is worth a 500K download to be honest

    Re: why this product?

    I agree that for OS X users this product is not very useful.

    But for Mac OS 9.1 or earlier users who want to prepare their migrations to OS X, there is no way to see if a given app is Carbon or Classic in the Finder ("Get info" only says it is an "application program", whatever the underlying library used).

    For them (and me), Carbonic is useful...

    I am Noah Pepper

    Well (s)he cant be Noah Pepper because I AM Noah Pepper. And if you dont belive me... well then heres proof my last name is spelled "P E P P E R" :-D Wow I made it to macnn! Well unless there are 2 Noah Peppers.... But that other guys is right. For people who want to sort their os x apps and their not os x friendly apps in os 9. (because I know many people who said things like "I need to know that the apps i use most are carbon before i buy os x" thats why I made this program.
