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.
