- I agree with you but Visual C++ is used by 95% of the Window developers.
- If we want OpenDoc and ODF to succed on the Windows platform we cannot
- tell all those Windows developer they have to buy a Mac or another
- compiler in order to use ODF.
-
- What we are looking into right now is how we could use Direct to SOM for
- some of the ODF classes (like FW_CPart or FW_CFrame) but still be able to
- use C++ for compilers that don't support DTS. If anybody has some good
- suggestions I would be more than happy.
