Metrowerks Ships CodeWarrior Development Tools for Classic Mac OS and 
Mac OS X

AUSTIN, Texas-September 10, 2001- Today, Metrowerks began shipping 
CodeWarrior for Mac OS, Version 7.0, development tools.  With these 
tools, developers can build a single application that runs on both 
Classic Mac OS and Mac OS X architectures.  The latest version of 
CodeWarrior tools provides the power to develop for multiple hosts and 
multiple targets: Classic Mac OS, Carbon, Native Mac OS X, and Java.  
Version 7.0 also includes the Metrowerks PowerPlant framework, the 
industry's most popular object-oriented C++ framework, which allows 
developers to create applications faster and easier.  

CodeWarrior for Mac OS, Version 7.0, is an easy-to-use tool suite that 
saves development time by allowing developers to create new applications 
using existing code.  Additionally, Version 7.0 includes a sophisticated 
Mach-O project converter that automatically converts Carbon PEF projects 
to Mach-O, enabling projects to run natively on the Mac OS X platform.  
Among other features are a new carbonized version of the integrated 
development environment (IDE), Mac OS X-hosted command-line tools, the 
latest Altivec support (Velocity Engine), and cross-development tools to 
target Windows.  

Metrowerks customer Alias(Wavefront licensed a beta version of 
CodeWarrior for Mac OS, Version 7.0, tools to create its Maya software, 
a tool used to create 3-D animation and effects.  Andrew Pearce, 
director of Maya Technologies for Alias(Wavefront, described how his 
team used CodeWarrior to develop one of the largest and most 
feature-rich applications to target the Mac OS X platform.  "Throughout 
the development process we relied on the CodeWarrior for Mac high-speed 
compiler and native debugger tools to make the project a success," noted 
Mr. Pearce.  "CodeWarrior's combination of reliability and performance 
along with Metrowerks' ongoing development support ensured a robust, 
responsive, and reliable end-result."  Alias(Wavefront develops 3D 
animation and visual effects software used in the film, video, 
broadcast, game development, interactive, and location-based 
entertainment markets.

"Metrowerks is committed to providing the Macintosh development 
community with the most stable and comprehensive integrated development
