- My understanding is that codewarrier is being ported to Windows. If this
- is true, I would expect them to quickly become a leading Windows tools
- vendor. Also, doesn't IBM have a direct to SOM C++ compiler for WIndows
- already?
-
- I understand wanting to remove barriors to using ODF under windows.
- However, it seems to me that you remove the most barriers by making ODF
- easier to use. An ideal solution would be to somehow convince Microsoft to
- support direct to SOM in Visual C++.
