What you gonna do when Leopard ships? Carbon is nearly dead and despite earlier promises there will be no 64 bit carbon support at all and nothing for G 3 processors...
I presume ResCalc is this? But, Scaletron! is more than that. It was originally and is still foremost, a scaling calculator. A proportion wheel for your computer. Calculates enlargement and reduction percentages, or new sizes at a given percentage. I originally wrote it so I wouldn't have to track down a proportion wheel when I was doing scans. The resolution calculation feature was just added in version 3.

As to the Carbon issue. It's not a Carbon application. AppleScript Studio is an OS X/Cocoa environment. Any apps written with it are Cocoa apps, not Carbon apps. It's all done in Xcode, but you use AppleScript instead of ObjC for the program's event handling and logic, although you can throw ObjC methods in if needed (and if you know any ObjC, heh).
