My point is that they have not produced an alternative. APDA has a number of
utilties that run under the APW/Orca shell, and I have most of them, but they
are all a couple years old. Have all APW utilties been written? I think not. 

As near as I can tell (and I expect to be corrected), Apple is no longer
supporting APW in any form, no upgrades, no new utilities, no graphical
development environment called PTW (Prizm That Works). However there are MPW
products being developed, MPWGS C, Asm, whatnot. 

Is it too much to ask that MPWGS runs on a GS as well as a Mac?
