MPW DistributionContents
Apple has now decided to give MPW away for
downloading
for free. Heres whats available for downloading:
- The MPW integrated Shell/Editor, with built-in Projector source-code
control.
- ToolServer, which is a cut-down version of the MPW Shell without the
editing or source-code-control functions. This can be used to execute
shell scripts in the background, with communication via AppleEvents.
- SourceServer, which is an extract of the source-code-control part of the
MPW Shell. This can be used to manage software projects with communication
via AppleEvents.
- Standard tools, including linker, librarian, Make,
Symantec C and C++ compilers for 68K, Apples Mr C
C and C++ compilers for PowerPC, assemblers for 68K and PowerPC, resource
compiler and decompiler, and a range of file-manipulation utilities.
- Source-level debuggers: SADE, SourceBug and the Macintosh Debugger
(both 68K and PowerPC).
- Documentation for using MPW, the compilers and assemblers, the
debuggers, and other information.
- Standard MacOS API interfaces (C, Pascal, Assembler and Rez) and libraries.
- Examples for building C, C++ and assembly-language programs, plus
how to build code fragments and HyperCard externals, and how to use
ToolServer and Projector.
- Other goodies: the MPW font, and MPButtons and
PopupFuncs add-ins.
