They did it for Fortran... That's what Aonix ObjectAda is, but I think for the past year or more the marketing has become somewhat deficient. There was a product called VisualAda, that pretty much went away, but again I have forgotten who is maintaining the product. >> Marin David Condic wrote: > > > MSVC++ provides for all intents and > purposes, its own version of C++.

Well, unfortunately, there is a company that advertises they've ported the MFC to Unix. I can't remember the name at the moment, since I gave the flyer to a C++ co-worker who left about six or eight months ago. And since I wasn't interested, I don't know how much of the MFC they ported. I don't know if it would include any of the GUI support. I've seen similar Ada products. You build your GUI on Unix, then re-compile and link with libraries on your Windows environment to have the equivalent Windows GUI. Frank
