Richard, Check the version of CarbonLib in your Extensions Folder. The latest available is CarbonLib 1.6. If you are using Mac OS 8.6 or later, you can use CarbonLib 1.6. You should then be able to take advantage of Carbon. I would say if you can start becoming familiar with the Carbon aspects of FB programming, it will be good for future programming.
