Would Code Warrior Pro 4 work OK? Also, you have any idea on where to get a "cheap" \
(hahaha) version of it? Also, would the Learning Edition work? The lack of \
optimization will suck, but I could probably live with that... I wouldn't be able to \
distribute any of the binaries that I made due to the license, and it claims that I \
wouldn't be able to generate cross-platform code. I don't know if this means \
cross-platform as in making 68K/FAT binaries and/or Windows binaries... At least I'd \
be able to uppgrade to the full version a little cheaper when I could better afford \
it...

(I sure hope my 7100 is up to the challenge of compiling VIM... It has a hard enough \
time running the MacOS sometimes... Then again OS9 wasn't really meant for the 601 \
chip... ;)

Where could I get the up-to-date project? And when will your page be updated? I want \
something newer than a 5.6 binary! ;)

I guess I'll try one of these days soon... Kinda curious what will be missing...

If it is, it's only slightly... ;) After all I can only read 800K floppies... Check \
out http://www.classicmacaddict.com/cgi-bin/go.cgi?go=profiles/subprofiles/se.html \
and http://www.classicmacaddict.com/cgi-bin/go.cgi?go=profiles/subprofiles/classic.html

Welp, I guess after I get it compiled, I'm gonna see what I can do. Admittedly, it \
probably won't be much... But I'll try!
