A few days ago I posted a note concerning ACTOR 3.0 in Windows development. I
have received some excellent replys and offer the following summary. I would
appreciate additional replys where facts are wrong.
Products available for Windows Development
Major Categories:
PseduoCode "interpreted" Products
1. ACTOR 3.0
2. TOOLBOOK
3. KnowledgePro
LIMITATION
1. Speed degredation. (Actor appears to be the fastest and Toolbook
appears to be quite a "turtle")
2. Royalty Provisions In order for any pseduocode to be distributed
commercially, you need to also provide the user
with an interpreter. These interpreters cost
additional $$.
"C" Code creators
1. WindowsMaker
Manufacturer? ___________
Cost? _____
From what I am told, this product creates "C" code which can
then be modified at the programmer source code level. Because of
this, the compiled code (.EXE) can be distributed freely. Speed
should be approximately same as any other Windows program due to the
fact that it is not being interpreted.
=======
Does anyone know of any other pseduocode or "C" generators that should be
included in the above list?
Any personal experience with the above products?
Thanks in advance
