This object-oriented developmental program features a visual interface builder for easy construction of windows and menus, and provides easy to understand syntax to get your creations up and running quickly. In fact, our own Tour interface was completely built using it. Create apps for Mac OS, Mac OS X, and Windows (ugh!).
