    I've already had a couple of seriously experienced Mac programmers
warn me away from using the cross-compiler setup even though the CodeWarrior
cross-compiler is the best that they have seen. There are behavioural 
differences and you really have to build things using the PowerPlant side of 
things to get any real cross-platform portability and then you are not 
really dealing with Windows code development. 

    It did look interesting enought that I had a quick play with it one 
evening to see if it would be useful ... though I was more interested in 
going the other way (cross-compiling for MacOS hosted under Win32).

    Is there a MacOS port of Apache hidding somewhere that I've not heard
about given that a few people seem to have Mac development environments
hiding in the wings?

Tim.
