- One question this brings up to my mind. Is there anything out there that
- will convert previously created programs from one platform to another- or
- does everyone recommend buying a cross platform kit and porting your code
- to it?
-
- Another issue is what to do about technologies that your program uses on
- one platform that do not exist on another. What do people do about that?
-
- I guess what I'm really saying is, do these cross platform builders really
- only work with the most generic of programs or can they be made to fully
- utilize the capabilities of the varying platforms? E.g. OLE, applescript,
- java, etc.
