So Close Yet So Far Away: Just SOL

OK, I understand about MetroWerks CW for Mac swallowed by the Moto
Whale, only to be disgorged upon the Freescale refuse heap. For
those who read this, I have seen CW Pro 8 and 9 listed at Diskovery
(8@ $115) and MacMall (9@ $478) respectively, but when you call, they
haven't got it, and worse, won't try to get it for you. Can anyone
advise what the *minimum* CW package would be for G4 Macs running later
Classic? Finding same will be the next issue.

I realize that Xcode Tools 2.x is now the name of the game (for
OS X.4+), but it is so... cludgy.

Thanks for any leads ;-)
