CodeWarrior requires System 7, so it doesn't go at all right now.
Think C compiles fine, but dies when you try to link. We're not sure
what's causing the death and will look into it a little more before we
ship 2.0, but it is very low priority. In general, the development
tools are lower priority than business, home productivity and graphics
programs, due to their relatively small appeal to our potential
customer base.
Remember, once 2.0 ships, we'll be able to hire a lot more engineers
and then we'll be able to find and fix problems in "esoteric"
applications as well as the mainstream ones. So it's in everyone's
best interest if we get 2.0 out soon, even if there are certain areas
that 2.0 itself will not be able to handle.

Should be minutes, if we get it to go. In fact, if we had the time to
really put some effort into it, we would be able to get compiles on a
90 MHz Pentium to be significantly *faster* than compiles on a Quadra
610. Again, we won't be able to do a lot of work in this area until
after 2.0 ships.
