You might, but how many others would follow? How many copies of CodeWarrior for Macintosh on this basis would Freescale/Metrowerks need to sell in order to break even? It strikes me, by the way, that you and Larry are not in agreement. Larry seems to require far more from CodeWarrior than you do. Now that we have the free Xcode, CodeWarrior is a premium product. To be popular, it needs a unique selling point. A superior PowerPC compiler and C++ library seem to be in CodeWarrior's favour at this time. If they are to continue selling the product, I see no reason for them to abandon these two. Now, if they were able to introduce the Intel compiler well ahead of Apple, that would be a major coup. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Alwyn
