I was wondering.  Would it be possible to run Cocoa and Carbon 
applications on Linux/X11 systems.  KDE already goes the other way, but 
IIUC, it uses Carbon (and uses Qt rather than the Aqua tool kit).


I presume that unlike MS-Windows that these are completely documented. 
Part of it has even open sourced as OPENSTEP and GNUSTEP.  And the OS 
underneath is a standard UNIX variant which is open source (Darwin).

If this would work better than using MS-Windows applications, some of 
the applications the people want for Linux/X11 are available for OS/X 
(e.g Dreamweaver & Photoshop).

Just a thought.
