I don't believe that, but situations like this > are very frustrating. CodeWarrior is very committed to the Palm OS business. We've got products based on Palm OS planned out through the end of this year. I can't say anymore until PalmSource 2002 next month. The problem here is that the 7.1 patch installer on Mac OS isn't very smart about patching a merged product. In general, the Pro team doesn't test merge installs at all, since there are so many products that could be merged with Pro. I don't know why their installer kills the 68K tools, its probably just careless. We should support the 7.0 -> 7.1 -> merge Palm 8.0 order you tried second. This does work fine on Windows, but the installer technology on the Macintosh is a bit more touchy. What I'd suggest is to start with Pro 7, install Palm 8 as a merge, do the 7.1 install, then manually reinstall the 68K tools that the 7.1 patch deleted fro the V8 CD. We're getting our 8.1 patch for the Macintosh ready right now, but we had not planned on updating the IDE yet. Still, the Pro 7.1 IDE should work with the Palm V8 tools.
