Unless you're running a pure standalone system it's a good idea to have both. The only tricky bit about that is conditionalizing the startup files, in case you want the environment to be different for the two cases. Which leads me to a new question: is there a variable or function which identifies the carbon build? At the moment I'm using (fboundp 'do-applescript) which really feels like hack. Is there a cleaner check? -- d f-d
