Yes! Internally, we've been able to compile and run over 20 of the demos
available on the Net Yaroze web pages. This is using the latest CodeWarrior
tools for Mac OS and Win95/NT, which are available with the new patch that
came out earlier this week (if you don't yet have it, please visit 
http://www.metrowerks.com/tools/software/updates/index.html to download the
Net Yaroze update for Mac or Windows).

Examples of the demos we have converted from GNU to CodeWarrior are:
- 2d
- 3d (3d...3d9)
- balls
- blow
- bomb96
- brezza01
- car
- clone
- dino
- dungeon
- flag
- hello
- line
- make
- oden
- offscrn
- quickst
- rton
- survival
- test3d
- timview
- uch630
- walz

There are also demos which are up on the Sony BBS which come in object code
only. You can use PSComUtil to download these projects and run them.
Examples of these demos are:
- hb
- terra incognito
- ftptest
- columns
- layd100

If you want to get the demos working too, you must read the latest version
of my manual: 
Targeting PlayStation OS. It's included in the new patch as an Acrobat file.

You won't be able to compile anything unless you first get your software and
hardware setup right, and this is what I've tried to explain in the manual.
If you see anything confusing, misleading, or just plain wrong in the manual
or tools, please send email to support@metrowerks.com and it will get back
to the right people.

Finally, thank you for bearing with the bugs, and for the feedback many of
you have already given us. I hope you can understand that a lot of people
are working very hard to make CodeWarrior work smoothly for PlayStation
development.

John
