- A company which I used to work for used a product called 'Mac2Win' by
- Altura Software (same folks who wrote 'QuickView') which was a DLL that
- basically mapped the Mac toolbox calls. It wasn't _quite_ as simple as
- just recompiling the Mac source on Win, but it worked. Took 2 of us about
- 6 mo. to port a 60k line app. It's also not cheap, but we could maintain
- one set of source for both platforms.
