Ben explained this very well

We will include a version of CW 8 IDE that can be used as a standalone 
debugger for Classic Debugging or debugging on OS 9.

It is hard to explain 1300 Megabyes of software in a few paragraphs :)

You probably didn't have Apple's Developers Tools installed.  You need

There is just so much documentation and release notes that it is hard to 
get and remember all the information.   This is why we monitor the 
newsgrouups.  Just let me try and help.
