Metroworks do Have a C Compiler for the Newton Hardware develloped for Sony-Magic Cap OS
Magic Cap works on Magic Cap PDAs. The newton is not one of them. Motorola uses magic cap for their PDAs, and I think AT&T does as well, but that's an uncertainty.
Considering that AT&T markets PersonaLink as an e-mail service for MagicCap users i suspect they do support MagicCap in at least one of their PDAs. PersonaLink is, i believe, related to Telescript, which is the scripting language for MagicCap (OK, it's a bit more than a scripting language, but i'm not that into it). I've heard a few times that not having a C compiler prevents the implementation of PGP. Why? Do the RSA people refuse to license a non-C implementation. If so, can they still enforce their patent against someone who implemented it on a platform that didn't have a C compiler? But then i hear that the Newton will have some support for C development sometime this year. allen
