[comp.sys.ibm.pc] C-Scape

crom@cuuxb.ATT.COM (Netnews Administrator) (12/10/89)

We're considering using C-SCAPE for a project that has user interfaces on
both unix and DOS.  The unix version we received has a lot of bugs (one
of the demos core dumps!) and I was wondering whether C-SCAPE is worth pursuing
or whether I should go by my first impression and find a different product.
Thanks for any info you can give.

I recently saw someone asking about C-Scape, but haven't seen any replies.
I too am interested in any comments one might have concerning this package.
I'd be using it to incorporate pulldown menus and a help system in Hercules
graphics and EGA 640x350 mode. I ordered their demo, but didn't see any
graphics usage, and they didn't say what is was compatible with. I would be
using it with TC 2.0 and Borlands BGI. 
I almost ordered Ithaca Street's Menuet windowing system until I realized it
needed Metawindows - and extra $200! Does C-Scape require any other software
to run? Right now it looks like a trade off between C-Scape and Panel-Plus.
Panel Plus looks good and their demo uses BGI, but the cost is about $100
more. 
Anyways, if you have any info/comments on any of the above, let me know!
