While this may sound like a good idea, I hope that the separate charge is not the full price (if you go ahead with the Mac version). We do all our Palm development on Macs, but all our clients want the source delivered on Windows, so I have to transfer the source (which is now easy since I'm using .r files for all my resources) to Windows and verify that everything builds before sending it off. So, in my case, I need both Mac and Windows hosted tools. If it was my own decision, I'd only care about the Mac hosted tools, but clients pay the bills, so I have to do what they want! -- Scott Gruby [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://www.gruby.com/> -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
