What version of MachTen is recommended for software development?
Because Professional MachTen supports virtual memory and protected memory, it is the recommended version for software development. Power MachTen, on the other hand, has some unique software development capabilities. Since Power MachTen’s compilers generate the same binary PEF formats as Metrowerks, Symantec, and MPW, Power MachTen can develop pure Macintosh applications, or even combine Macintosh and UNIX software development tools to generate hybrid applications. Furthermore, Power MachTen is the only version that includes a Fortran compiler.
