- Don't. You'll be sorry. The Zortech C++ product for Intel CPUs is
- good, but the 68000 code generator was botched, and the Mac product is
- lousy. I am a very unhappy owner of this product. I finally had to buy
- Apple's MPW C/C++ compiler.

- Symantek now owns Zortech, and hasn't done much with the Mac product,
- although there are rumors of a Symantek C++/Bedrock product some time next
- year.

- While it's true that the original 2.1 release of Zortech C++ for MPW
- was buggy, Symantec released a 2.1.3 version that fixed many of the
- bugs not long after the acquisition of Zortech. There haven't been any
- Mac releases since then (2.1.3 was released less than a year ago), but
- a lot of work is being done on it.
-
- Sorry, no comments on What or When...
