It ain't so....
I use a Mac almost exclusively myself, so Mac support for NQC is here to
stay. The final releases of NQC would continue to include Mac (MPW tool),
Win, and Linux versions. MacNQC would still be around (both beta tests
and final versions).
The only thing I'm considering eliminating is beta versions of the NQC MPW
tool. On one hand, it probably doesn't make sense to only beta Win/Mac.
Either beta everything, or just Win. On the other hand I'm a stubborn Mac
user, so I'd be tempted to continue the Mac betas even if nobody was
downloading them.
