We are going to develop an application that is to be run in Windows-3
as well as on a Mac. It would be an advantage if the human interface it
uses looks the same, and behaves the same, in both environments.
The thought comes to mind, that if we could desribe the program in a
high enough level language then the code for each system could more
or less be drived from that description. It must be easy in this HLL
to describe windows/screens/menus/labels/bars..., and the action when
the users select things.
I'm aware of UCB (available as cica.cica.indiana.edu:/pc/win3/util/ucb.zip),
but are there similar things for Mac? Any that handles both Windows-3 and Mac?
Freeware, shareware and commercialware are all interesting.
And the real question, of course, has anybody used anything like that.
And how much (if anything :-( can one gain using such a HLL.
