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. Kaelin> [I realize that compiles are likely to be gawd-awful slow, Kaelin> but are we talking minutes or tens of minutes?] 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. --Cliff ctm@ardi.com
