In November, Apple will begin distributing free copies of many of its Mac OS development tools to Apple Developer Program members through the Developer CD Series. Tools that will be distributed include the Macintosh Programmer's Workshop (MPW), MacApp, SourceBug, MacsBug, Power Macintosh Debugger, and Virtual User performance analysis tools. Selected tools will also be made available for free Internet downloading.

It continues to be available with the Color Matching Method (CMM) codeveloped with Linotype-Hell.
