- depends on your needs...
-
- If you are starting to develop NOW, develop for portability... perhaps use
- a Cross Platform application framework such as Zinc, zApp, et al. (I would
- not recommend MFC, as Mac users tend not to like their programs looking
- like they are running under M$ Windows.)
-
- If you have Windoze code that needs porting, it's probably too late to
- change to Zinc, zApp et al so go for UWND / something from Bristol, ...
- look in Dr Dobb's for adds about such products.
