I did just what was suggested above. I forget the price, but the main issue is
that some of the most useful Atari utilities are normally considered a bundle
with the C compiler. Stuff like MADMAC, Atari db and aln. I presume there
would be no problem re-selling MWC if you REALLY don't want it. The hassle
of getting the important stuff without the compiler just isn't a good bargain.
(Note: everyone I've ever spoken with at Atari is very helpful, and wants to
solve problems. This seems to be an inherently confusing situation.)
