What tools exist for cross-developing, particularly Macintosh and Windows 3? I am aware that Omnis 5 has a high degree of compatability but runtime restrictions may rule it out. Are there any other development environments which would provide direct code compatability in both environments, preferably with a database engine included? Please mail replies & I'll summarise. Thanks in advance Andy Dent A.D. Software phone 09 249 2719 Mac & VAX programmer 94 Bermuda Dve, Ballajura dent@DIALix.oz Western Australia 6066 dent@DIALix.oz.au (international)

I find that I can spot a program that has been ported from Windows to a Mac
using a cross-developer a mile off: bad interface, violations of Apple's HUI
guidelines, etc. If you need to use such an animal good luck.
BTW, SmallTalk V[/] provides some utility in that area I'm told.
