Our Mail server crashed and I lost it all, but its been backed up. My question now is this: If MPW is soo good compared to MDS and general assemblers, why does everyone keep complaining about all the bugs? If I'm going to use a good system, it had best NOT have any bugs. Is there full support of 68020 and 69030 through MPW? Does anyone know if there is a GOOD assembly language out there? How does C and C++ stack up in comparison?(especially Think C) Well, the reason I ask, is that I have an extensive assembly background from the PC's, and heard that assembly for the Mac was awesome in comparrsion. So I checked out MDS ver.0.9 here at OSU.(They use it as an intro to assembler for undergrads) Any word on this would be much appreciated, especially from Apple.
