Just to offer a different view, one of DAW vendors I beta test moved to Xcode from CW right after Xcode became useful around Panther. I had a chance to view the source code side by side, and it was done so they are much more portable and clearer. Granted, their application is much more DSP hardware centric so the size of app isn't as big as Finale. The engineer told me it was a big and time consuming task, but it was worth it. I admit I don't know CW very well. I actually started off with really bad experiences. I bought it because I bought their sales pitch of ease of IDE for GUI, which I thought I can use to save time on Java dev. Soon I found it contaminates code rather than helping me, like M$Word contaminates HTML. Yes, I was naive thinking if there is IDE that is useful. But CW support was not that helpful to someone like me, weekend coder. Well, I didn't know any better. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
