Sorry bout that. MRI = Microtec Research (International?). They make an m68k compiler for Windows. Perhaps they support other processors, but I don't know much else. My purpose is to convert all project code from MRI to GNU because MRI costs like $2500 for each developer (similar to other commercial compilers I think), whereas GNU is said to be very good and costs nothing. Plus it has very good and responsive support on this mailing list, for free as well.
