in that case, I'm not sure.
what is the exact error you're seeing (activate full error messages 
in CW's error window), and when does it happen, I presume at link 
time? of what target of what project?

that's a good point, if you don't need the CFM68k executables, and 
can't test them on a 68k mac (CFM68k executables don't run on PPCs 
!), there is probably no point in spending time on a 68k version. 
however, in university environments, there are still a resonable 
number of 68k macs around... (steve, if you're interested, come by my 
office, I have a 68k mac here for testing purposes)

Cheers,

Daniel
