Coda was very slow with the Win32 release, too. Win32 was coming from about 1990 or so, and Coda did not release a 32-bit version until Finale97, and because of problems with 16-bit thunking layers for MIDI, it did not run on NT until Finale98. Win95 came out in August '95, NT 4 came out in '96, so Coda was quite a ways behind. However, it wasn't until the release of Win2K that NT compatibility became really crucial and by that time, they'd made the conversion. I think that Code is following exactly the same path with OS X as they did with Win32, and my guess is that this involves a major code restructuring and maybe even a conversion to new development tools, just as the WinFin97 release marked the abandonment of the old codebase and a switch to Microsoft development tools. -- David W.
