That's correct, there is a projector for Mac Classic, a different 
projector for Mac Carbon, and a third projector for Windows. In most 
cases, if you select "Include In Projector" when you add an Xtra to the 
Xtra list Director will use the appropriate Xtra when it compiles the 
application (Classic or Carbon). For Valentina, though, it doesn't seem 
to be able to find the classic Xtra for some reason so I'm including 
the Xtra in an external Xtras folder. Having both the classic and 
carbon versions of the Valentina Xtra in the same Xtras folder, though, 
causes a problem opening the carbon projector.
