CodeWarrior Integrated Development Environment

December 9, 1994 -- Metrowerks CodeWarrior is a complete development
solution for C/C++ and Pascal programming on both 68K Macintosh and the
new PowerMacintosh from Apple Computer. CodeWarrior has been used to
create 60 percent of the PowerPC native Macintosh applications, including
products from Aldus and Claris.

CodeWarrior Development Environments for C/C++ run native on either
platform and also cross-compile for either platform. You can therefore
build Power Macintosh binaries on 68K or 68K binaries on Power Macintosh
at Power Macintosh speeds.

The compiler technology and development tools melded together in the
CodeWarrior package try to strike a balance between powerful tools and
ease of use. Our objective is to make sure you have the tools you need to
get the job done. We will do everything possible to make sure that this is
the case. We intend to make CodeWarrior on Macintosh our design center for
state-of-the-art development tools.

State-of-the-Art Compilers & Linkers

The compiler technology contained on this CD is based on an advanced
architecture where multiple language front-ends (C/C++ and Pascal) share
multiple back-ends (680x0 and PowerPC 601) as well as a common development
environment. This ensures that as you go forward on Power Macintosh, you
also conserve your investment in your installed code base on 68K Macintosh
and your code base remains backward-compatible.

Using the same front-end across different processors reduces source-code
compatibility problems. Using the same back-end code generator ensures
equal code quality for C/C++ and Pascal as well as full binary
compatibility. The 68K Macintosh compilers are being used extensively to
implement a common code base across 68K and Power Macintosh by many in the
Macintosh Developer Community since their first release on January 5,
1994.

The CodeWarrior 68K and the PowerPC C/C++ compilers have passed the Plum
Hall Validation Suite for C version 5.0 and have been used successfully to
port very large software products to Power Macintosh. The compilers
undergo final validation under Suite++x, the Plum Hall Validation Suite
for C++ version 1.07.

The C/C++ compilers build pointer-based MacApp v3.1 as well as our own new
framework, Metrowerks PowerPlant. This provides you with a full range of
framework options for full native development on either Power Macintosh or
68K Macintosh. These compilers also build the TCL version 1.1.3 and 2.0
after the TCL has been modified using porting tools available on the
Internet (for more info, send email to support@metrowerks.com)

The PowerPC C/C++ and 68K compilers are fat binaries. You can build
software on a PowerPC Macintosh or you can build software on a 68K-based
Macintosh and then drag the binary to a Power Macintosh for execution.
They are both native compilers (on Power and 68K Macintosh) and cross
compilers(on 68K and Power Macintosh).

The 68K Pascal compiler is a mature beta release. It conforms substantially
to MPW Pascal v3.3 excluding Object Pascal extensions. It is in the
process of final validation under the BSI validation suite version 5.6 and
has built some pretty large software products. We're very happy to bring
you the first external development release of Pascal for Power Macintosh
on this CD.

CodeWarrior Debuggers

The CodeWarrior Debugger, one for 68K, the other for PowerPC have also been
further developed and implement a range of new features to help in
debugging both 68K and Power Macintosh binaries. The debuggers use the
PowerPlant framework to implement their document and symbolic views and
both read standard SYM files generated by the compilers. CodeWarrior
binaries can also be debugged with standard debuggers such as The Debugger
from Jasik Designs. The CodeWarrior Debuggers have graduated to V1.0 level
in this CW4 release.

Metrowerks PowerPlant, a new framework

Metrowerks PowerPlant is a very modern non-monolithic application
framework. It implements a mixin architecture to reduce object size and
fully supports the Apple Object Model. Applications written with
PowerPlant are recordable and scriptable. PowerPlant Constructor, the view
editor, accelerates development by making view design much easier. In this
release of PowerPlant, we are happy to provide NeoPersist, a new and
powerful object-oriented object persistence library from NeoLogic Systems,
the developers of NeoAccess and NeoShare. NeoLogic products provide
back-end database support for PowerPlant applications. We are also
providing PowerPlant as a shared library that can be distributed to your
users free of charge.

New Plauger/Plum Hall C & C++ Libraries

The Standard C Library and the Draft Standard C++ Library developed by P.
J. Plauger and distributed and supported by Plum Hall, Inc. are also
available with this release. They carefully track the emerging ANSI/ISO
C++ standard and are upgraded with each release of CodeWarrior.

Metrowerks Active Profilers

We're also happy to introduce the version 1.0 release of the Metrowerks
Profiler. This new active profiler should enable you to fine-tune your
code on both 68K and Power Macintosh.

CodeWarrior Development Environment

The CodeWarrior Development Environment represents a modern scriptable,
open architecture for Macintosh Software Development.

International CodeWarrior

On the international front, Metrowerks CodeWarrior has been localized in
French, German,and Spanish. All these versions of CodeWarrior are
available on this CD. Kanji version is sold separately through our
Japanese distributor, BUG.
