MetaWindows has been on the market for at least 3 years now.  It was a
"product of the month" in PC Tech Journal back when it 1st came out.
I thought it was really impressive, too.  Much more viable for the average
programmer than the Windows Development kit - Cheaper too ;-)  The best
part about it was it's ease of adaptation to run just about any graphics
card when given enough information. Oh well, I guess people just want
Graphics software development on the IBM and its cousins to be harder 
(and more expensive) than it has to be.
