For a fixed fee (I think $100,) any publisher of MPW tools can ship a copy of the MPW Shell with their compiler. The assembler is not included. This benefits Apple by making it profitable to write MPW compatible compilers. This way, people can market their MPW compilers to non-APDA members. Because they just recently made this announcement, I should think that it is unlikely that they will cease to do this when the MPW 3.0 finally ships. -- Mark Wilkins
