- I hate to burst your bubble but Symantec/Zortech, with Apple as a partner,
- are also developing their own platform independent class library. The code
- name for it is Bedrock. Bedrock is supposed to be out early next year and
- I would bet that they are planning to use Bedrock as their "official" class
- library.
-
- Personally, I can't wait til Bedrock actually comes out. Apple has been
- shipping MacApp for 5 years and it is a VERY mature class library. IMHO,
- MacApp blows away both MFC and OWL. Having a portable MacApp would be a
- very cool thing.
