So far I'd heard of WINE and >Willow, and various Public Windows proposals. Cygnus GnuWin32 is a Gnu C and C++ compiler, being ported to Windows 95 and Windows NT by Cygnus Software. Alongside this compiler (and accompanying Gnu tools) there is an effort, which last I heard was also being supplied by but not originated by Cygnus, to reconstruct the Win32 API header files and libraries without reference to any Microsoft code. I'll see if I can find the exact source and creator. In the meantime, are WINE and Willow Win32 API clones, or are they like V, platform-independent APIs?
