This Carbonized version includes a JITC (just-in-time-compiler) for faster functions, mostly used in scenes with isosurfaces. This version will also run on MacOS X. In case functions are used extensively, this version will perform better.

This archives contains all the sources and projects to compile the Mach-o, Carbonized and Classic versions. We only support Metrowerks CodeWarrior and you will need version 9.x to compile the sources.

It might be possible to compile the package with CodeWarrior v 8.3 but we didn't try.
