Thanks, but I don't use XCode.  Scatha is a Lisp program, developed using
the experimental Cocoa bridge in OpenMCL.  The Cocoa bridge is already
very usable, and despite some rough edges developing Cocoa applications
in OpenMCL is already much easier and more pleasant than doing it in Java
or Objective-C.  There is only one problem:  OpenMCL Cocoa applications
will currently only work in the exact OS version in which they are compiled.

This problem is expected to be solved in the near future.  If it turns out to
take longer time than expected, I will look for some kind of workaround.
The most obvious solution would be to make the program detect during
startup which OS version it is running in, and recompile itself from source
code when necessary.
