XCode might contain the documentation, but there is no mention of that in the info for it, so I downloaded both anyway. The 320MB is the Apple Developer Documentation (which contains PDFs, example source, Technical Notes). So it may actually be separate and THAT big!

I noticed that XCode contained 'gcc 3.3'. I haven't used a gcc compiler for some time, so thanks for the offer!

Excellent on the Mac Demo! All that I need is some way to debug and test veracity of the port/compilation. Beta-testers can then do the shakedown.

Thanks,
Robert

Gee, what is so big about a compiler? Maybe the 380MB contain the 320MB of documentation? (60MB for a compiler plus library headers seems much more reasonable)

Since Xcode is based on the GNU compiler (GCC) and I know the latter quite well, I could answer any low-level questions. I have not yet used Xcode, though.

I think the demo might do (yes, there is a Mac Demo). Even if the demo ignores the Plugin folder, your plugins could work when installed in the Modules folder (mine does). (A bit of a hack, I know, but I guess modules and plugins are quite similar internally, maybe even equivalent.)

One would think that Metrowerks could see a reason for a "I'm not a big company making big money" version of CodeWarrior. I can get Java Forte (which kicked Borland's Builder out of the universe at the time I made the mistake of buying it) for free Java IDE programming. Luckily, my Windows development is part of the MSDN license, so I have just about everything at my disposal.

Yes, it would be great to have a 30% cross-grade discount for owners who want to use on another platform. With the current R9 upgrade just paid, I cannot afford $695 for a testing bed. Wonder if there is a Mac demo and if it could be used for this purpose?

Thanks, Michael!

I guess you can use the Xcode compiler, which Apple is giving away for free. You just have to register to become an ADC member.

For CINEMA itself, it would be really cool if MAXON could offer mixed-platform licenses for (considerably) less than the double price.
