Hi Sean,
  Sorry I don't have a copy of Metrowerks(CodeWarrior?).  I kinda got
tired of the the borrowing thing myself which is why I went to Debian
GNU/linux.  I try to adhere to the FSF concept.  I can't say I'm perfect
in that regard cause I use a "hostage"(non-free) program myself, JDE.  I
was looking at the Metrowerks website and from what I saw Metrowerks
packages with SUSE I'm pretty sure.  Those would probably be the folks
to ask.
