MacApp 3.0 will support the required Apple events and the Edition
Manager. It will not have any classes to support the PPC Toolbox, and I
don't think it will provide routines to support stationary (though that
may change before final).  However, nothing will prevent you from
adding those yourself if you desire them.

Edition Manager support is pretty straightforward with MacApp. I
think that you are required to implement something like 5 routines;
MacApp takes care of the rest. If your document is designed
cleanly, it should be pretty simple to implement those 5 methods.
