I seem to recall hearing that CW Pro 6 would be the last version of
CodeWarrior to feature 68K compilers.  Does this mean that there is no
point in filing bug reports against the 68K compiler, or might there be
a netborne update?  (I just sent in a codegen bug report.)

If CW6 going to be the last release with 68K, it would seem extra 
important to get those bug reports in early, while there's a decent 
chance to get the problems fixed.  A year from now, a bug report will be 
against code which has started to mildew sitting on the shelf.

I don't speak in any official capacity on this point since I'm not one of
the high-up-decision-makers, but...  68K codegen is part of Pro 6, so if
there were to be any Pro 6 patches we release, it'd make sense for us to
update 68K.  Just don't expect it for Pro 7.  :-)

Send them in if you have some.  It can't hurt and we do have 68k embedded
tools and they might get fixed or you might find out that it is something
you are doing wrong.  I believe we froze 68k Macintosh tools last year and
this is the last year we ship them.
