Willows TWIN Libraries are a cross platform implementation of the Windows API's. It
(TWIN), is available to support both win 3.x 16bit interface as well as
the win32 32bit interface.
As far as this software is concerned, we are a cross between source level
products such as Mainsoft and Bristol, and the binary software efforts such
as Wabi, Insignia Solutions and wine.
TWIN has three notable features:
- 1.
- Runs on all major Unix platforms, not just Intel.
- 2.
- TWIN is not just a Unix solution, TWIN supports several
operating systems, and several different graphics systems.
- 3.
- Supports Intel code execution even on RISC platforms, through CPU
emulation, allowing print drivers, and third party dll's to run.
The Willows TWIN Libraries come in two parts, the first the platform independent Windows
compatible libraries, and the second the platform dependent interface layer.
The libraries are available in either the traditional archive library format
as well as a dynamically loadable shared libraries.
