- Try Zinc, an application framework for C++. Zinc will allow you to
- write C++ GUI apps for DOS(!), Win31, Win32, OS/2, MacOS, Unix/Motif,
- NextStep. Look and feel of the native OS/GUI is preserved (ie. your
- Mac stuff won't look like Windoze programs and p*ss off your Mac
- users). Source code is included, to help you understand how it does
- what it does and so you can easily create new widgets that will be
- cross platform.
-
- check out http://www.zinc.com/ for all the marketting blurb.
-
- As to the cost, I don't know (the boss pays ;-) but you to do Mac and
- Windoze you will need:
-
- o Zinc engine
- o Mac Zinc key
- o Mac C++ compiler
- o Windoze Zinc key
- o Windoze C++ compiler
