As a result, MPW GCC is now available via anonymous ftp from apple.com or from anybody else that has a copy. It is not an "official Apple product", though if you have questions or problems, you can direct them to mpwgcc@apple.com and we'll try to answer them or solve them when we have time. ------------ Jeff Holcomb Apple ATG System Software jeffh@HyperMail.apple.com
