Watch for details. --------------------------------------------------------------- The newest versions of MachTen are significantly improved over what we started with a year ago, Looking at the newest upgrades, especially on the Power PC, is worthwhile. We will be producing and marketing a CD_ROM in October with a stripped down MachTen and the full gcc environment: Ada95, c, c++, assembly languages. It should be quite usable as a S/W development environment and will be competitively priced. Latest download data for the Ada95 compiler is at: http://gnat-mac.com/macada/
