Beware! As I now understand it, the Machten shell just does the things that
MPW does for Meridian - provides a command-line interface for issuing compiler
commands. The output of the compiler runs on MacOS. Machten isn't used like A/UX,
to completely replace MacOS as the operating environment.

So, if you're saying that you have a better alternative than Machten to do the
MPW task, knock your self out. Otherwise, as I understand it, there's no need
to go build another MPW-type shell.
