CodeWarrior 6 was the last version that could compile for 68k Macs. Although I have the original software, I no longer have the 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 updates, and they're not available from Freescale anymore. Does anyone happen to have them archived?

Perhaps this will provide a starting point.

There are a number of sites that list the 6.2 and 6.3 updates (zdnet, softpedia, etc.) but they all just link to Metrowerk's now defunct ftp server. Believe me, I've googled thoroughly for this stuff.

Sadly no---that stuff no longer exists. Seems to be a recurring theme :)

I notice that this thread has not been posted in since 2009. I found it in my search for anything related to CodeWarrior 5.0.

Everywhere I look I cannot find a copy of it anywhere. It is no longer sold or supported. Also, 6.0 requires System 7.6 or newer. System 7.5.5 will not work. This all according to all of the searching I have done.

I have the source code to my favorite Mac game, Wolfenstein 3D. Bill Heineman released the source to 2nd Encounter back in 2000. I have yet to locate a copy of that, but Greg Ewing (author of WolfEdit 2.0.4) modified the 2nd Encounter source and renamed the modified version 4th Encounter. The difference is just that it allows Wolfenstein 3D to open level files created with WolfEdit.

To compile it, I have to have CodeWarrior 5.0. That is the version that Bill Heineman compiled the game with, and I am running System 7.5.5 in the Basilisk II emulator. I haven't possessed my Quadra 605 in almost a decade, and I can't get 7.6 from Apple. Why they released the 7.6.1 update, but not 7.6, is beyond me. That OS hasn't been supported in a longer time than I lost my Quadra. Oh well, cry over spilt milk.

Anyway, since this version of CodeWarrior is all but non-existent anymore, and I'm certain that FreeScale isn't going to worry about something they no longer sell or support, is there anyone here that has it, that will be willing to part with a copy? After all, it's not like I can just go buy it at Fry's.

I should state, for the record, that I owned System 7.6, and had the 7.6.1 update installed on my Quadra 605. I am merely trying to get something as close to the system I had back again, even if it is emulated.

I never owned CodeWarrior. Programming software is very expensive, and I could not afford it then any more than I can now. However, I did own FutureBasic and FutureBasic2. I love that language. I lost much more than a Mac and software and games. Rebuilding has not been easy.

I find it discouraging when I cannot find the software I need. It's bad enough it isn't supported anymore. No longer being offered means no longer in existence.

Obsolete software that no one cares about anymore should be free for the taking, just to preserve it as long as possible. Instead, the attitude seems to be "if we don't see money in it, you can't have it either". Wrong attitude, if you ask me.

This is "CodeWarrior Pro 5" apparently.  Based on the timeline you mentioned that should be it versus the "CodeWarrior 5 Gold" that would have been 1994-1995 or similar.
