[comp.sys.mac.programmer] MPW C, C++ info request

Well, I've given up on Aztec C which I've been using for a about 1 1/2 years.
I couldn't figure out why a section of code wasn't working so I disassembled
it - the compiler messed up "flag |= 512"!  But, inserting a printf one line
above caused it to compile correctly.  I can't live with those sorts of
problems.

Now I am ready get MPW C or C++.  Do I have to join apda to get them?  What is
the cost?  What is included?

Thanks for the help.
Jim

For which?  
Currently, to get MPW C++ you do have to join APDA, as it is not yet a released
product.  To get just MPW C++, you need to buy the MPW C bundle ($475 ?) and then
get C++ on top of that -- about $175.  

If you join APDA, you can get a disc called ETO -- esentials tools and objects.  
It will be shipped to you quarterly for a year, and includes the latest versions
of MPW, SADE, ResEdit, MacsBug, C, C++, Pascal, MacApp, etc.  If you don't own
any of these things, it is about $1000 for the first year, then it is $300 per year
to keep current.  If you already own all of MPW, it is only $300/year.  If you
don't own parts, you must buy them in order to get ETO.

Anyway, if you get the MPW C bundle, it includes the shell, Asm, C, (a whole 
horde of tools), ResEdit, MacsBug (asm debugger), and Sade (source debugger).
