We just upgraded to CodeWarrior 9.4 on both our Mac and Windows machines just a couple of weeks ago, so I know that it was just recently supported. However, when I went to Metrowerks' product web site at www.metrowerks.com/mw/products/default.htm , I see that it has been removed. When I went to the Metrowerks store to the Buy section, I see only the Macintosh and other products listed now. When I click on the Windows link, I get "No error message found. (Error Number: 31016935 - 0)". On some other pages, the Windows link has been removed altogether. I even went to the Metrowerks Site Map at http://www.metrowerks.com/MW/siteMap/default.htm and clicked on all the Windows links and got the error message "No default posting specified for this channel" for each one of them. I further went on to the "Metrowerks Discontinued Products" page at www.metrowerks.com/Discontinued/default.htm but did not see the Windows compiler there (however, other discontinued products (such as Lattitude and the Java compiler) was absent as well). Despite my surprise, I frankly could live with the fact that the Windows-hosted tools are being discontinued. They were never an important factor to me, although they were admittedly a very nice debugging convenience to have. For me what is more important is for the Windows compiler to live on on the Mac-hosted tools. It is always very nice to be able to cross-compile to Windows when needs be. If the Windows compiler disappears off BOTH the Windows and Mac-hosted tools, one of the biggest advantages CodeWarrior has over Xcode will be lost. Jonathan Hoyle
