If you code using LCL APIs only then you'll achieve the desired effect: * you'll get an application that can compile on different platforms without any code changes (write once, compile anywhere) * you won't need to use objective-pascal code. Just don't bother yourself with "cocoa api" don't go too specific. thanks, Dmitry
