THINK C (and later, Symantec C++) featured a Class Library and framework for Mac programming called the THINK Class Library , which was used extensively for Macintosh application development. The THINK C IDE was quite influential, though considered not as advanced as that belonging to THINK Pascal , its sister language product; it was considered the standard environment when MPW was considered an overpriced niche product. With the transition of the Mac from 68K to PowerPC , however, Symantec was widely seen as having dropped the ball, and competitor Metrowerks ' product CodeWarrior took control of the marketplace. Despite the decline in popularity of their IDE, Symantec was eventually chosen by Apple to provide next-generation C/C++ compilers for MPW in the form of Sc/Scpp for 68K alongside IBM 's MrC/MrCpp for PowerPC. These remained Apple's standard compilers until the arrival of Mac OS X replaced them with the NeXT-derived Project Builder and its followon Xcode . Symantec subsequently exited the developer tool business. EXTERNAL LINKS
