I don't remember the exact taxonomy, but the Gold CodeWarriors are pretty much hopeless for any code that's even remotely modern, so I use the Pro versions. I have CW 5, 6, 7 and 8. CW 6 is the last 68K version (I use CW 5 most of the time for 68K projects, however), and CW 7 is the first one to support Carbon. I don't remember when Mach-O capability was added (I think 8 ).
I don't know anything about the Windows or Java capabilities; I don't use those.
Thank you, Cameron. It may be nine months later but it's still timely. I'll probably get around to writing code some time coincident with the heat death of the universe. Plenty of project ideas. So little time and skill.

I think I have a copy of Pro 6 around here somewhere. I mentioned to a professor from whom I was taking C++ that I had a Mac at home and he burned me off a set of copies. We were using it on the PCs in the labs at school. Nice crazy guy, but I did not like C++. Too many confusing ways to do things. Very powerful I suppose, but also so intricate that it seemed to make coding impossible to follow.

Does Freescale still sell CodeWarrior for the Mac?
