Some company just announced that they have licensed from Microsoft the Windows SOURCE CODE, and that somehow, this results in the Win32 API being an industry standard on Unix AND Microsoft. Sorry I don't This would be Bristol Technologies, with their WIND/U toolkit. They've also ported over the MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes), so you can take your same C++ codebase under Windows and simply move it over to UNIX to link with WIND/U's MFC libraries and be done with it. I'm not associated with the company in any way, I just think it's an important milestone.. Jordan -- Jordan K.
