I have a recollection of that being true, but it's easy to change
MoreFiles to build with the new headers.  I have an old project that
uses the 10.5 SDK and the MoreFilesX code and it works fine.

The 10.4 SDK does not support 64 bit development.  If you want to build
as 64 bit, you need to use the 10.5 SDK.

Much of Carbon is available in 64 bit, but definitely not all. 
MoreFilesX is largely obsolete and deprecated.  I suspect many of the
APIs it uses are unavailable in 64 bit.  Also, much of what MoreFiles
provided is now part of the file manager.  In fact, I think that's the
problem with the 10.4 SDK... one MoreFiles function became part of
Carbon's Files.h.

I'm curious why you want to use MoreFileX in a modern 64 bit app.  What
does it provide that is still helpful?

Lastly, discussion of 10.6 is verboten; discussing it violates your NDA.
