Some one asked this same question a few weeks ago on the Apple 
student-developer list.

Anyway those shared memory calls aren't available to a standard 
Carbon app.  It's basically only available to a Mach-O application.

(There is a slim possibility that one could create a shared library 
that could encapsulate the Mach-O calls.  I'm not sure if it's even 
possible to call Mach-O from a Carbon app.)
