Nothing on the drawing boards at this time, but we are still fluid.

Windows schmindows.  Let's get those handheld compilers over to OSX.

Gen

Ron,

As I read your note, I come to the following conclusions. Can you give
me some guidance if I have misread the post?

- Java is apparently dead in CW

- Windows support appears to also die

If either of those is true, then I guess my exploration of Eclipse will
have to turn into a full conversion to it.  

After something like 13 years of using CW, I kinda hate to make the
change, but as I read things, it appears that MW is no longer going in
my direction. :-(

I've been looking most of September. Of course, this just says to
*look* for more details, it doesn't actually promise any more details.
Were there details I missed?

I fired off a letter to the press release person and it appears that 
this is going to be delayed even longer.

I'll post a full lettre apologizing.

Not officially, we still have Java tools in our Learning Edition.  
However, I do not see us getting back into a market where we can not be 
the best tools.

>- Windows support appears to also die

Not yet,  We just released a new version for Windows this year then an 
update a few weeks ago.  I'm confident to state that we are the best 
Standard C++ compiler and library combination available for Windows.

Our direction is embedded tools support,  this is where we are at and 
will continue to go but we just reaffirmed our commitment to Apple and 
Mac OS  and Mac OS X,  we did not do that for Java.
