Just when I think I understand IV 3.1 well enough to begin a project, I
stumble upon ET++ out of Switzerland. It didn't come with a whole lot
of documentation, and it was hard to get a real sense of it. However,
it's making me wonder which package might be the best to use for a
project started from scratch. In comparison to Interviews, it seems
like ET++ has some advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages:
o Built-in programming environment which allows you to view all
instances of your classes during run-time
o No use of multiple inheritance; All classes rooted from a single
class
o Seems simple compared to the Interviews/Unidraw combination
Disadvantages:
o Only runs under SunView and OpenWindows at this time. (Could
be a big disadvantage, as I haven't figured out how to run
OpenWindows / NeWS clients on the Sun using a MacX server.)
o I don't know anyone who has used ET++
o Interviews seems more powerful/richer than ET++, if more complex.
In short, I'm still clueless. Does anyone have some experience with each
of the packages? Any comments?
