 > MPW has been removed or is about to be removed.  I would need this to port GNU tools to classic and carbon with other libraries.  I tried to find some way to communicate, but there were now emails, urls, anything.  Just a note that unless someone contacts them, it'll be removed. :-(  No contact info provided on web. :-(
 
 It has been removed from the current sources.  The old MPW files are 
 still available.  See the GDB 5.1.1 release (ftp:/ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdb). 
   The files are also available in the CVS repository (but in the Attic). 
   For info on accessing the CVS repository, see 
 http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/current/ for how to access CVS.
 
 This was the announcement:
 http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-announce/2001/msg00009.html
 Yes, the announcement should have also mentioned the web pages.
 
 You're more than welcome to download and use those files for a GDB port 
 of MPW.  Can I also encourage you to look through the current GDB 
 sources.  Many of the mechanisms that MPW used to solve porting problems 
 are probably no longer applicable to GDB.
 
 enjoy,
 Andrew
