Just a word or two about MWC V3.0 --

	Due to some delays (a disk crash and a bit of slowness on my
	part), Version 3.0 will not ship until around the first of
	March, 1988.  We are in Beta testing now, and unless anything
	untoward happens, we should easily meet that date.

	Version 3.0 comes with the following features not found in
	earlier versions of MWC --

		CSD (C Source Debugger) support

		GEM Resource Editor

		Improved code generation including optional
		PC relative code generation.

	Improved utilities:

		as68toas now is more complete and robust

		db handles symbol tables > 64k and supports
		new options for GEM program debugging and
		debugging from a terminal connected to the
		AUX port.

		msh has an expanded internal string pool and
		many fewer "assert failed" type fatal conditions.
		Also, some built-in commands have been improved.

		nm handles large symbol tables.

		Improved compilation and assembly speed.

		Improved diagnostics from the linker.


The C Source Debugger, CSD, will ship at the same time.  It is
similar to the CSD product that Mark Williams has sold on the
IBM PC for many years.
