if you want to continue using mac - no, you cannot upgrade. CodeWarrior 9 is windows only, so - you will need to change your development environment off the bat. > - are there any other/better/sheaper development systems that cover > Zire and Tungsten on a Mac depends on the mac os version you have, but, the latest mac os X is more 'unix' based, in which case you can use the gcc compiler for generation of ARM code to link into your applications. if you are not interested in writing ARM code, you can stick with CodeWarrior 8 on mac and just update your SDK. > - or is there a compiler for windows that is worth looking at it > - which compiler let me also create software for Sony Clie an important issue here is that you can create software for any palmos device with *any* compiler - you just need to have the SDK headers there to do so. its not specific to CodeWarrior, prc-tools, pila etc.. i do my development mainly within prc-tools and for ARM code i use a custom compiled version of gcc. we handle every device that we can :) i use CodeWarrior when the client requests - you can do exactly the same with each compiler; i actually prefer prc-tools because it is free, and, you get more control over what is going on. however, it depends that you have some knowledge about compilers. if you are a newbie/clueless - CodeWarrior is for you :) also, CodeWarrior has a more integrated debugging environment. --- Aaron Ardiri [EMAIL PROTECTED] CEO - CTO +46 70 656 1143 Mobile Wizardry http://www.mobilewizardry.com/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
