[comp.unix.aux] MPW & A/UX Developer's Tools

rob@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu (Robert K Shull) (06/14/91)

Does anyone know if the MPW bundle included with the recently announced
A/UX Developer's Tools will be the same as the MPW sold for use under
MacOS? Can I use the MPW portion of the tools under A/UX and MacOS?
I do development under both A/UX and MacOS, and am planning to switch
to MPW. I'd like to avoid buying it twice if possible.
	Thanks,
	Robert

Yes, one world, one MPW (MPW 3.2, 32-bit clean).

     I have the A/UX Developers Tools Version 1.0 b1 beta release
of May 1991,and the tools appear to work equally well under A/UX and
the Mac O/S.

     Actually, the big "A/UX Developer's Tools" release is really just
an MPW with a few fixes for some A/UX related problems, like being able
to use slashes in pathnames.

This is wrong. It consists of two parts. First, MPW components tested
and verified to work under A/UX. Second, a high performance ANSI C
compiler and other new tools for the UNIX development environment as well.

It is definately not "just MPW with a few fixes."
