(which are done on a mac).  In fact, I've even been considering
eliminating the mac beta.

Dave!  No, please don't eliminate the Mac!  I love not being tied to a PC for
my NQC work!  Say it ain't so!

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).

  Whew, I was beginning to sweat there.  MacNQC is the only Macintosh based
robotics microcontroller software out there (Except for PBForth, which I'm not
sure but may need a PC to download it).  All of my PIC, Scenix, AVR, 68HC11 and
Parallax stuff requires a PC to use.

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.

  I guess that the MPW tool beta isn't that useful.  I used CodeWarrior in the
past, haven't done a Mac App in quite a while.

  Thank goodness for other stubborn Mac users.
