I've decided to use C++, probably Zortech's based on the nettalk I've read. I'm using it in a company that develops primarily Windows software, though we have one project now (which is my immediate goal) that will be done under PM. I've heard of two libraries for windowing: CNS's C++/Views and Glockenspiel's Commonview 2. Both are available under Windows, and the latter under PM as well. I understand that I can develop the app under Windows and run it under PM using Microsoft's WLO, if I so choose. I'd like facts on the limitations and novel features of these products, and opinions on which is "best". I'd like to hear especially from people who have used them. In choosing, I think my main concern should be the design of the library--whether it is complete, easy to use. I've also heard that a large memory model is undesirable for Windows programming, and that Commonview uses such in its "Portable Model". I'm not a Windows or PM programmer myself (though I will be soon); I've worked with X11 and the mercurial InterViews library before, though. if (inquiries) I.summarize();
