Errors-To: icon-group-errors@optima.CS.Arizona.EDU
Status: RO
I'm thinking of two small projects that I want to be
executable under UNIX, Win32 and Mac. They involve
simple graphics. Now, Icon is one very good way to
go for me if it weren't for graphic support lacking.
The other two ways seem to be Java or C++ in
combination with vxWindows library (or similar) which
should run on all platforms. Java seems OK but the
other one is time consuming as we all know. Still
I'd prefer Icon.
Now a straight question to you developers:
Can't you use e g vxWindows cross platform library
directly when developping Icon? Then it would run on
a bunch of platforms with rather minimal changes in
source code, i e no extra job for you! It would be great
to have graphics on all platforms! Never mind if all bells
and whistles aren't there on all platforms, just get it
up running!
best wishes
