Mac Warriors,

Metrowerks is announcing two releases that will be available to you at 
Apple�s World Wide Developers Conference on May 21, 2001.  We are happy 
to make these releases available at no charge.  Pricing previously 
posted to the Metrowerks website no longer applies.

The first release is CodeWarrior for Mac OS v6.2.  This is a moderate 
maintenance update to the CodeWarrior for Mac OS v6.0 compilers and 
linkers.  This release updates your v6.0 or v6.1 installation to the 
latest PPC and 68K PEF based compilers.  This is not a Mach-O update.

The second release is an Early Access of CodeWarrior for Mac OS v7.0 
components.  This release includes a new CodeWarrior IDE (version 4.2) 
with support for Mac OS X frameworks, updated Mach-O compilers, updated 
Metrowerks Standard Libraries (MSL), updated PowerPlant framework, 
greatly improved PEF and Java Debugging on Mac OS X, as well as many 
other new, improved, and updated components for targeting PEF and Mach-O 
on Mac OS X.  This release will also include the updated PEF compilers 
from the v6.2 update described above.  This is an early access to the 
components that you�ve told us that you need now.

CodeWarrior for Mac OS v6.2 will be made available in the usual place on 
the Metrowerks Updates and Patches webpage accessed by clicking on 
�Downloads� from the Metrowerks home page http://www.metrowerks.com.

Due to the large size of the Early Access release, it will be 
distributed on CD only.  This CD will be available to all WWDC 
attendees.  You can get your CD at the show at any Metrowerks function 
or by asking any Metrowerks representative during the week of the 
conference.  The v6.2 update will also be included on the CD for your 
convenience.

For those of you who will not be attending WWDC, the Early Access CD can 
be ordered from Metrowerks after May 21st for a handling fee of $9.95.  
Please call Metrowerks Sales at 800-377-5416 or email us at 
sales@metrowerks.com to place an order.

We all look forward to seeing you at WWDC this year.  Please come see us 
in the exhibit area where our engineers will be available to answer your 
questions and listen to your concerns.

Please monitor our webpage at http://www.metrowerks.com/macosx for 
further information regarding Mac OS X development tools.

Excellent!

So, I understand you won't be shipping this until May 21st, but can we
place an order now or should we wait until May 21st to place it?

The web site should have more information about ordering the CD as the 
time nears.

Let's cut to the chase:  can it build an Objective-C Cocoa app?

As opposed to Obj-C which is brand new?

I might be a big fan of PowerPlant, but as far as my recollection of
programming languages goes there is only one language whose syntax I hate
more than Objective C, and it's Scheme.

All we really need is for Metrowerks to release a PowerPlant which uses
Quartz instead of QuickDraw... I don't know what you guys think but my
carbonized PP applications look very cheap under OS X. Plus I really want my
fonts to have the same anti-aliased style as the rest of the OS.

The question isn't whether it's new, but whether it's obsolete. 
Powerplant is.  Cocoa isn't.

I see that Obj-C is in good company, then.  How do you feel about smalltalk?

It's not just PP apps.  The only Carbon app I've seen that doesn't look
cheap under OS X is iTunes.

Reality?  

Here's a dose of reality, sport:  The mac toolbox is in maintenance
mode.  Get over it.

Oh my God! That's it! I have been seeking The Ultimate Wisdom of Mac 
Programming for years, and now you've finally enlightened me. You will 
have my eternal gratitude! I will spend the rest of my life finding ways 
to repay you. I think I'll start by contributing to your crack budget.

Finder and Sherlock are obsolete?

We allow you to access the Mach-O and directly access POSIX,  cocoa is 
not the only Mac OS X framework.

I'd think just the opposite,  hmm,  a PowerPlant for OS X 

Anyone interested?

Wasn't the Finder in OS X written with PowerPlant?
