The end of OS9 development

[Stephen Barncard]

My impression (also hearsay) was that the Rev team is using 
*something else* besides CodeWarrior to create an OS9 version, it's 
probably require major rewriting (and that's a lot harder than 
importing a HC stack!) and that is the reason for the delays.

I would not assume that Codewarrior is the only game in town, nor 
that Rev's silence about it would indicate that they have given up on 
9. Not only have they the formidable task of rebuilding the app with 
a new compiler, but also adding the new feature set and making sure 
it's synchronized with the other platforms.

It has been announced by Rev enough times that their commitment to 
the platform is not over and until they say otherwise, I'd bet 
they'll keep their promise.
