I have a program I wrote about 10 years ago that I recently carbonized for OS X. I used ProjectBuilder in 10.2 and it worked fine. I just learned that the dialogs no longer work in Panther. The static text fields show ^0^1, which should have been replaced with something else at runtime. I use ParamText to replace these placeholders with strings from resources. I've been debugging in Panther and everything seems to work - it finds the string resources and correctly passes the strings in ParamText to dialogs created from nibs. ParamText is, as far as I can tell, still supported. So what's up? Why does this program work in 10.2 but breaks in 10.3? Has something changed that I can't find documented?

Just a data point: My ParamText() calls in 3 shipping apps all work fine on all versions of OS X.
