I was browsing around the Aonix Web site
(http://www.aonix.com/content/index.html)
and clicked on the Product button at the top of the screen.
I just happened to look at TeleUSE.  It is supposed to be a
high powered GUI/Development tool for Unix.  I noticed a new
product TeleUSE/Windows.  The product now claims you can do
development on either platform and run on the other. I quote

"You need the flexibility to build your applications from a
single source - and give them the look and feel of the platform
on which they are deployed, whether it be UNIX or Windows. "

It also says;

"The "Wintif" library - is capable of rendering GUI elements
that look and feel like Motif, Windows NT, or Windows 95."

and

"After creating an executable for Solaris, the developers
transfer all their TeleUSE files to TeleUSE/Win on Windows.
TeleUSE/Win, which includes precisely the same set of tools
that are provided by TeleUSE on Solaris, accepts all the
files. When the Application Builder is invoked, TeleUSE/Win
automatically invokes Visual C++ and links the application
with libraries that provide a native Windows look and feel." 

I know you can't really go by what a vendor says, but if it's
half as good as they claim, why don't they advertise it more,
or at least speak up on this list.

Has anyone used this product?
Does it run on Linux?

Is there a technical reason for that ?

We have a proprietary GUI originally developped for DOS
It was then ported to Unix
And finally to Windows when it came to evidence that in our market every DOS
user and 99% of unix users switched to Windows.

Originally it was a Motif look GUI.
A few years ago we changed the look to a Windows look GUI

There was some strong debate about that, but a few weeks after the change,
nobody (us internally as well as customers) would even think in coming back
to Motif

I have a RH 7.0 where a lot of things have a Windows look.
When you use swing, you have a choice, but you have a Windows look

By the way, are you sure it is very useful to re-invent swing again ?
