Sad!
I have been with MW since "Bronze 5" long before the Pro versions and long
before I became a Windoze developper. I have kept both platforms upgraded and
intented to continue doing so (well untill now).
I read here that Ed Wood has some 30 lisenses, that makes mine no. 31.
I fear to ask it but how many CodeWarrior Windoze lisences are out there?

Anyway, the CodeWarrior compiler has over a number of years helped me produce
better code.
So, thanks and good luck for the future. I will continue to lissen to the cw
newgroups regularly.
Cheers,
Conrad Weyns.
