I'm a little confused here about whether CFM supports 68K code now, as
Inside MacIntosh seem to indicate, or as Liam stated that Apple will ship
CFM for 68K.
The other troubling statement Liam seem to imply was that Codwarrior is not now supporting CFM. Since CDE2 is now being written in CodeWarrior the next questions is how can Oracle be planning a May/June role out of CDE2 for both the 68k and PPC platforms?
Any insight into these questions?
