   One of the recent editions of "Apple Viewpoints," a newsletter for
certified developers, described this practice.  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.
