Technical Notes: Legacy Technologies
Code written to run in Mac OS 9 and earlier versions of the Mac OS can be updated to run in Mac OS X. The easiest way to do this is by using the Carbon framework, which has many managers and functions similar to their Mac OS 9 equivalents. Documentation for Mac OS 9 and earlier APIs is provided to aid in this effort.
