Sorry Eric if my message sent wrong signals. I didnt wanna bring forward any kinda particular associations between Metrowerks and PalmSource... But if you could take a look at the article I mentined in my earlier reply in this chain, one could easily get baffled on the issue. That article was read by me long time back and thru out these years I was under the impression that CW cross-compilers are the only officially supported tools by Palm. But now that you said so, I am off that impression. May I extend my thankfulness for that explanation given by you ?
