We are thinking of using a commercial C++ library for an upcoming
project, and Zinc and zApp are the two leading contenders.  I would
like to hear from someone who has actual project experience using
*both* products (if such a person exists...).  Can you give the
strengths and weaknesses of each, and which:

-	did you prefer to use?
-	had more capability (and in which areas)?
-	was more extensible once your design runs past the
	capabilities of the class library

My impression of Zinc, at least, is that it would be a good fit to an
MIS product, but I found it hard to believe that you could build a
robust commercial-quality application on top of it.  zApp's demo
program seems quite poor, but it seems to get good reviews.
