There was a discussion awhile ago about moving from LS to MPW code, and if I
remember correctly the conclusion was that it didn't go.  THINK does
provide a converter for MPW .o files, so it's a one way street.  This is
obviously in THINK's best interest to keep that way.

The 'license fee' for CAPPS' (in the manual at least)is the same as THINK C -- 
just a "Portions (c) THINK Technologies" notice along with yours.  What they
do for commercial programs I'm not sure--you'd have to call or write them.
(Rich, can you answer this?)
