- You might check out Bristol Technologies (http://www.bristol.com).
- They market a product called "Wind/U". Quoting from their web
- page ( hypeWarning = true;)
- "The Wind/U portability toolkit implements the Microsoft Windows API
- under Motif. Wind/U supports Win16, Win32, and the Microsoft
- Foundation Class (MFC) library. You can recompile your Windows
- application in the UNIX environment and link to the Wind/U library.
- Wind/U maps the Windows function calls to native Motif and X Window
- System calls, allowing the application to execute in the native UNIX
- environment. Your application has the look and feel of Motif on UNIX,
- but all the functionality of your Windows version, including DDE, MDI,
- Palettes, Common Dialogs, and WinSock. "

- Good luck!
