- The Metrowerks system has at least as much capability in a much cleaner and
- easier to use form. Back when I did Modula-2, I used MacMETH, but only until
- I started using the Metrowerks compilers.

- Of course, if your requirement is that something be free, well you can't beat
- MacMETH for the price.
