Subject: Will MPW 3.0 tools ALWAYS work in 3.1?

 As I upgrade to MPW suite 3.1  (all the stuff), will my "old" 3.1 tools still
work as before.  I have an array processor at 20Mflops I need for my physics
research, and it came with compilers....that were set up under 3.0.  What will
happen in 3.1.  Is 3.1 just a maintenance release, or is the linker really
different?   The company did not know yet, so I write this in the hopes that an
Apple guru could straighten things out.  Also, has Apple made any public state-
ments about a C++ release that is non-beta.  A friend who has C++ found it to be
way too slow on his plus......
 Finally, I just received my Language Systems Fortran upgrade to version 2.0, and
they have really improved the product.  I have yet to check speed, but if it is
2.5 times faster.... Version 1.21 was a lot faster than our MicrovaxII.
 Note:  The above includes opinions that are my own and in no way represent my

and others.

  Thanks!
