What does this item mean?  I heard from your salesperson who tried to sell
me CW9 that you are still using gdb.

I was just about to buy one of the new G5s.  But then I put 2 and 2
together.  On the new G5s I lose OS 9 as a functioning debugging platform
(in lieu of any useful debugging on OS X).  So this means I either give up
buying a new computer or give up using CodeWarrior, and move to XCode.

So what use is any of this if there are no bug fixes, and the OS X is still
useless as a debugging platform?

Either you and your sales person have made major omissions of important
information, or development management has omitted anything useful from this
new version.

Sorry to be so blunt, but I'm freaking out.  I just tried to debug something
under OS X in CW 8.3, and had the usual luck (none whatsoever).  Unless I
hear something really surprising, somehow omitted from this otherwise
useless information, or I am probably giving up using CodeWarrior, and
having to go through the pain of porting to an almost entirely unfamiliar
environment.
