The upgrade clearly states this is not for a Merge Version !!  I don't 
know if there will be an update for Palm 8 Mac or not.

What I would do for a merge is run the 7 install, run the 7.1 update  
and install the Palm tools  then copy but all the extra bits from the 
Palm version to the 7.1 version.  

I would however recommend that you run two installations.  One for Palm 
and one for Mac if both are needed.  

Except for the fonts bug, I think most of 7.1 is for OS X it might not 
be worth it to you to do that or to just update the IDE alone.  (or save 
the 4.6 IDE you have now and then do a clean CW7 and CW Palm 8 Merge and 
replace the IDE only).

Metrowerks is the leading developer of Palm tools it is not getting out 
of the Palm Development Business.   

I'm sorry that you are frustrated but the release notes are quite clear 
that this is not supported.
