There is no GUI editor for PPx yet. One is in development.

In the meantime, there is a utility which will convert 
Contrctor-gnerated PPob resources into PPx XML text files. And there is 
a utility which will convert Nibs to PPx XML text files.

The CW 9 IDE only runs on Mac OS X. The CW 8.3 IDE runs on both Mac OS 9 
and X. So, the advantage is being able to edit and compile PPx code on 
OS 9.

Reasons you may want to do this:

(1) You prefer the OS 9 user interface. You can do your typing and 
editing on OS 9, and compile to check for syntax errors.

(2) You are running on a machine booted into 9 (which may or may not 
also have X installed). You can write and compile PPx code.

(3) Much of the code in PPx will run on Mac OS 9. Mostly, it's the view 
system, based on HIView, that requires Mac OS X 10.2. The Carbon Event, 
Core Foundation, and XML persistence classes all run on 9. So, you can 
use portions of PPx in projects that you build and run on 9 using CW 8.3.
