I have been using XVT for several months and am quite pleased with it. My primary development machine is a Mac SE/30 and Think C with a Model 70 for Windows work. The biggest problem I had initially with transferring between environments was pointer size conflicts (single pointer size on the Mac vs. near and far on PCs). Once I learned to deal with and anticipate that, I've had no problems with the transportable code. I also got the Whitewater Resources Toolkit for Windows to complement ResEdit on the Mac and was glad I did. I would recommend XVT even if one was not planning a multi-platform application. XVT takes care of a lot of the niggling details that makes Windows and the Mac difficult to learn in the first place, so a programmer programming in one of those environments for the first time can be productive much sooner. /----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Peter A.
