They have been advertising Mac OS X compatibility since about that time
as well :) OK, since at least CW 7 was released ... and you pretty much
have to have CW 9 to get true X compatibility. At least CW 8 only works
about 50% in 10.2/10.3 for me.

They also have had serious optimization bugs open since 1995 that have
never been fixed.

(Not that any other compiler is any better, but just because they
advertise something doesn't mean that they deliver it.)
