>>In other words, you have no evidence that PowerPlant for Windows used
Altura, now CodeWarrior.

Huh?  Didn't I just give such evidence?  Maybe I'm misunderstanding
since that sentence does not completely make sense to me.

>>It's all ancedotal.

If the word of a Metrowerks' lead engineer is considered anecdotal,
then yes, it is anecdotal.

>>I doubt Metrowerks was simply a Mac2Win reseller...

Again, you seem to misunderstand the nature of this.  Many
applications, including one I worked on for years, used Mac2Win as
their porting technology.  Such companies do not "resell" Mac2Win per
se, however, they do have to pay royalties on the sales of their
product, usually a percentage of the revenue intake.

I'm a little surprised that this is getting so angry.  I am doing
nothing more than passing on what Metrowerks engineers have told me in
the past.  If things have changed in the past couple releases, fine.
But I'm not just making up this Mac2Win connection, and I was just
trying to pass along the information as I know it.  I was not trying to
offend anyone.

Clearly MWRon knows more about this than I do, so I'll let him respond.
