Manager: Text Services Manager

Carbon will support nearly all Text Services Manager functions. The exceptions are those functions, such as NewServiceWindow and CloseServiceWindow, used to create and manage floating utility windows. If you have a TSM component that uses floating utility windows, you should replace these functions with equivalent Mac OS 8.5 Window Manager functions, which offer more complete support for creating and managing floating windows.

For example, instead of the NewServiceWindow function, you can use the Window Manager function CreateNewWindow, and specify either kFloatingWindowClass or kUtilityWindowClass.

Likewise, use DisposeWindow insteaad of CloseServiceWindow, GetFrontWindowOfClass instead of GetFrontServiceWindow, and FindWindowOfClass instead of FindServiceWindow.

In addition, it is possible that TSMEvent, TSMMenuSelect, and SetTSMCursor will no longer need to be called, and therefore may not be available. This is still under investigation.
