Err... I checked, I was thinking of something else I guess. Are The
"Full Install CD's" considered as an "upgrade"?
Mac OS X doesn't have "upgrade" disks. If you can upgrade from 10.1
to the version on the disks, the normal installation disks will let
you do that. If not, you can do a clean install and use the option
that transfers most of your settings and preferences.
Perhaps you could tell us what your goal is? Are you wanting to write
Mac software or do you just need a programming environment you can
use to write generic C programs for a class or some such thing? If
it's Mac software, who would be using it? What Mac are you using? If
you can install 1.3.9 or 10.4 you'd be crazy to use anything older
and the older it is the crazier you'd be. LOL 10.1 is dog slow
compared to 10.3 and 10.4, has lots of bugs and is just generally
much less useable in my opinion. You couldn't pay me to use 10.1.
10.2 is noticeably better, but it wasn't until 10.3 that Mac OS X
finally gained the speed and improvements it needed to really let you
be productive and be pleasant to use. Every major release of Mac OS X
also brings improvements that make development easier, more
productive, and lets you create better software.
Unless you have a compelling reason to do so, you don't want to use
or develop for anything less than 10.3.9 at this point. Note that you
can probably pick up a new copy of 10.3 from an online vendor who
still a has a few copies he's trying to sell for much less than $129
if money is an issue and 10.3 is quite good, but be aware that Apple
never has upgrade pricing. Every version of Mac OS X is sold as a
full version for the full price. So if you can get 10.4 and your
hardware supports it, that's what I'd do. It will save you a lot of
time and aggravation in the long run.

Thanks for your help!

Yeah, I Couldn't Find That Eithor... How Much Would It Cost To
Upgrade To 10.3.9?
Please don't capitalize every word, just the first word of the
sentence and proper nouns. It's very distracting.
Did you visit www.apple.com? You can buy Mac OS X 10.4 for $129.00
USD.

Well, I Didn't Get An Answer, So Does Anyone ELSE Have The Answer?

And, Where May I Find That?
The earliest tools I could find were the december 2002 dev tools
that require 10.2.
