Could somebody tell me what the differences are between MPW 3.0 and 3.1? Why would I want to change to 3.1? I was told that the linker was buggy, but are there other problems? And what exactly was wrong with the linker? Thanks for your help. Chris Magnuson

I don't want to post them here, as they are rather lengthy. However, it wasn't the linker that was bad. It was the C compiler. With MPW 3.0, we came up with our own C compiler, rather than using Green Hills's. As such, it had a number of problems that needed to be fixed with a 3.1 release. A number of minor bugs were fixed in the Pascal compiler as well. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Rollin --- Apple Computer, Inc. --- Developer Technical Support INTERNET: keith@apple.com UUCP: {decwrl, hoptoad, nsc, sun, amdahl}!apple!keith "Argue for your Apple, and sure enough, it's yours" - Keith Rollin, Contusions

OK, so how do I access the Apple ftp host? Thanks, Chris Magnuson .
