Does anyone know if MetroWerks plans to support the 
C routine system() under MacOS X, and if so, when?

It would be nice!

From the MSL C reference:
The system() function is an empty function on MacOS.

I know a little bit about the plans... :-)

The answer is no.  MSL C will not provide a system() call on OS X.  
However, since that call is already built-in on OS X, you're more than 
welcome to use their implementation directly.  However, to get at it, 
you have to be a Mach-O application, unless you want to do some freaky 
CFM-to-Mach-O bundle calling tricks.

It should work with the Mach-O tools as that uses the POSIX layer.
