The .pll file can be ported from DOS to MAC, then re-gen'ed to create the executable (.lib) once over at the MAC. If you place the executable where Forms thinks it should be then you don't have to 'touch' each form to re-link it with the library. The "where Forms thinks it should be" is platform specific but the easiest way is putting in the library files with your forms (same folder/dir), or you can set where you want to put your library files by setting up parameters in the oracle.ini file. Make sure you bring over the library and gen it before you work with forms that have it attached, and you won't have your library not found errors.

Check out chapter 17 of your Oracle*Forms User's Guide, for general info about libraries.
