#How hard to convert?
Richard,
If you wish, you can find most all Mac development tools by calling APDA, the
Apple Programmer's and Developer's Association, at 1-800-282-2732. They carry
all of the "official" Apple tools, as well as those from many third party
developers. One caveat: APDA's prices are list prices, and they don't discount
software.
It just happens that there is no eclectic purveyor of Macintosh tools, as is
the case with the Programmer's Shop, and others for the PC. The plain facts are
that this sort of enterprise doesn't exist (to my knowledge, with the exception
of APDA, mentioned earlier). The big volume dealers in Macintosh software
(MacWarehouse, MacConnection, Mac's Place, etc.) are pretty much the sole
source for mail-order software, other than the original developers, who
advertise in the back pages of several of the Mac magazines.
The products exist and you might give APDA a call and get their latest
catalog…but you're going to have to look for or ask for what you need. If you
post a message requesting information on specific development tools in this
forum, I'm sure that you'll get some responses.
