Well, yes, sort of. I mainly Program on the PC, but I have recently had
access to a PowerMac and both Symantec and Code Warrior Compilers. I have
found the latter to be the preferable compiling environment (though I still
ask what all the fuss is about regarding MacOS - its little more than a
glorified Atari Falcon! :-) ), but I have kept the THINK library reference
supplied by Symantec as Metrowerks don't include one - which really
surprises me. They all have a long way to go to catch up with the
level of documentation and tutorial support Microsoft provide. OK, so they
have an unfair advantage there, as invetors of the operating system, but
Metrowerks really should do more to help Mac newcommers find out what
the APIs are!
