John,
The rumors of MPW's death have been greatly exaggerated. The plan is to include
MPW/ThC++ on ETO. There won't be any upgrade to MPW in the future, although
it'll be changed to reflect any new technologies that come along.
For example, I've heard of a new mpw running under a/ux, with their new C++
compiler (from Lucid, I think, codenamed Landshark). I doubt that it'll be much
different from the MPW we know & love 😐
Also, given the bugs in ThC++, you might want to stay with ThC5/MPW. If you're
used to Unix, MPW will be quite familiar, although the learning curve will
probably be steeper than with the think products.
