When I bought my compiler, Symantec was the 'official' compiler builder of Apple's. With this compiler did come the source code of the C-library. I wouldn't be surprised if Metrowerks 'adopted' this code. Nice to hear they have at least done some bug-fixes - if this is the case. But still, why doesn't Crafty run then ... - Guido -
