Multiple Platform Release info

I'm in the process of releasing software for Windows, Mac OS 9, and Mac OS X
simultaneously.  Aside from some bizarro printing differences betweeen OS 9
and OS X, I think I'm about done.  But I was wondering if anyone has posted
any "how to" web pages for creating full fledged standalone apps for the
three platforms I mentioned (or any one of them.)  I've done final apps for
all 3 before, but remembering how I handled icons for Windows, for example,
is tough...

It's easy up until just after creating the standalone.  After that, you've
got type and creator issues, icon differences, memory allocation (OS 9), and
on Windows creating an installer for the app (got that one covered,
actually.)  But a nice tutorial on the three platforms would be great, if
someone's already done it.  If not, I'd be willing to collaborate and host a
web page, or just collaborate.

Is it my imagination, or has this list gotten a lot smaller since Revolution
was released?  AND is it just me, or are the questions and issues here more
"hardcore" in general now?  I'm wondering if all the newbies went to
Revolution, leaving us hardcores here to discuss cgi and xml...
