The Megamax library lowercases ROM calls.  For example, ClearMenuBar would be
called as clearmenubar (or Clearmenubar -- I forget which).  Code that 
compiles under Sumacc won't compile under Megamax.  (Well, I didn't promise
a *good* reason ... ).

A better reason is that people who are involved in large development projects
like to use tools that are provided by companies legally bound to support 
them.
