Of course, this is kind of having the wake five years /after/ the death, but oh well. :) I remember how cool Codewarrior seemed the first time I used it. It was Codewarrior Gold 5, I think. Unlike many people who cut their teeth on Think Pascal, I really appreciated the way the debugger worked. It felt like I was actually debugging the program, rather than riding a ferris wheel. Compile times were decent enough, but I'd been spoiled by Borland's Pascal for Windows compilers so they certainly weren't impressive. First bug I hit was probably the one where the IDE would compile units in the wrong order and fail builds. I don't remember my first support incident specifically, but I remember I was emailed a compiler to fix it. Happy days. -- Steve Fair well. I want to whish success on all their employees, especially the forgotten one.

NOOOOOO it isn't Metrowerks corporation is merged into Freescale Metrowerks is a brand name registered to Freescale Semiconductor. Metrowerks CodeWarrior Development Studio for Mac OS is still on track for a release in a couple of weeks.

Well. That's good to know. Ron. Can you also tell us what's after that? Specifically, what will happen to PowerPlant Classic and X? How is the open source thing going? >> >Metrowerks will officially cease operations on September 30, 2005.. >> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >Specifically, what will happen to PowerPlant Classic and X? How is the >open source thing going? I'm supposed to be in charge of open sourcing it and I'm waiting to hear back from legal, but I don't think this is a big problem as Freeescale has a process for open source. I hope to have this before the end of October.
