Subject: [ANN] public beta of PowerPlant 1.8b1

CodeWarriors,

This is a public beta of PowerPlant 1.8b1 (the archive also includes
Constructor 2.4.3a1). This archive contains the new Appearance Classes
which provide native support for MacOS 8’s new Appearance Manager. It also
contains many other changes and improvements since CW Pro 1. It is an
(almost) complete PowerPlant folder.

Althought this has been tested this is a public beta and all precautions
normally associated with beta sofware should be noted.

Metrowerks had to make some hard decisions on the C++ compilers whether to
