I have found the following NI statement about LV7 for MacOSX:
"Shared libraries compiled for Mac OS 9.x or earlier are _not_
compatible with LabVIEW for Mac OS X. You must recompile them in the
Mach-O binary format as a bundle with natural alignment, not the 68k
alignment. Apple provides free developer tools for producing such
binaries."
So I need PowerMops to be able to achieve this...

You answer to my other post "The same Forth on different OS"!
