I am confused by the differences between the Mac Development System (MDS) and
the Mac Programmers Workshop (MWP). Apparently, MDS has been around a while
and is mature (not that I have been able to find a copy except as a special
order).  MWP appears to be in Beta test and is available from APDA (and maybe
others).  

Which (if either) should I buy?  I am hesitant to shell out $100 for MWP only
to find that Beta=bugs galore.  Should I wait for it to become a released
product or will I be waiting for a year or more?  Does it look like MWP C
will become the standard and displace LightSpeed?  Finally, I wonder what the
released price will be as compared to the Beta price...

I would appreciate any info available on the quality/value of these products.
