-There are two wxWidgets ports to Mac OS. One of them, wxMac, exists in two versions:
-Classic and Carbon. The Classic version is the only one to work on Mac OS version 8.
-The Carbon version may be built either as CFM or Mach-O (binary format, like ELF)
-and the former may run under OS 9 while the latter only runs under OS X.
-Finally, there is a new Cocoa port which can only be used under OS X. To
-summarize:
+There are two wxWidgets ports to Mac OS X. One of them, wxOSX is the successor of the
+venerable wxMac, it currently exists in three versions: Carbon and Cocoa for the
+desktop and a very early iPhone port. And there is the Cocoa port named wxCocoa 
+which has not been updated very actively since beginning 2008. To summarize:
