David, I hate to give ammunition to the enemy , but why don't you use my favorite example — Print Preview? On the project I'm doing now, the 1st cut at the user interface was done by the Windows guy — then we hashed it out. He automatically included Print…
—> I believe most Mac develops better start learning how to program Windows. Seriously, I tend to agree with you. It's become clear that most apps which have significant market appeal are going to end up on both platforms. At the very least, good developers on both sides of the…
David, —> I believe the latest PC Magazine rated MSVC number one in PC development environments. Do you agree? How do you compare it to what's available on the Macintosh now (or even what will be soon (i.e., CodeWarrior and SC++ 7).
—> Heck, from what I've seen _most_ Mac applications don't support more than the standard suite, if even _that_!
David, —> If MSVC 2 helps to do that in a cost effective, unobstructive way then I think it's the greatest technology to hit the development areana in a long, long time.
Andrew, "I gather that the connection between the preprocceser and the compiler in Symantec C++ is completely closed and private?" I don't know the internals of the Symantec compiler, but there is no separate pre-processor as in an AT&T style C++ pre-processor which spits out C code. Obviously, there's some…
Andrew, "Specificly what I want to do is to add a pre-pre-proccesser step. I want to massage the source, then let Symantec C++ take over." This is still your path problem, right? There are a couple of scripting-type things you might try. I'm going to talk about Frontier since that's…

"One neat byproduct of this is that they use Macromind Director to create graphics and animations for their PC products as well as Mac products." Very useful. That's one heckuva by-product. Thanks for the info. Reede

Andy, "the suggestions I've heard indicate I will no longer be able to develop on my 8Mb machine (5Mb free)" I think most of the extra memory usage is also C++ related. But, since I'm doing mostly C++ these days, maybe someone else can chime in to confirm this. Reede
Dennis, You're better connected than I am, so chances are that your information is better than mine. I bow to your probably-more-accurate "horses mouth." Reede

Dave, CMaster is sold by Jersey Scientific 545 Eighth Ave. 19th Floor NY, NY 10018 (212) 736-0406 Compuserve: 70400,3361 Reede
Laurent, "Following the rumor in MacWeek." I guess nobody's officially commenting on this stuff, but from what I hear none of the Apple folks working on Bedrock were involved in the cutbacks. So, from my perspective, it sounds like nothing has changed re Bedrock. Reede

Brian, "Additional tools – I would strongly suggest Macromind Director for story-boarding, because with a little work you can pretty much translate graphics and paths directly from Director into your code." You know, I've wondered about this a number of times, but I can't seem to get much in the…

Richard, I just re-read most of this thread, and my earlier reply to you has a decidedly nasty edge to it. I apologize — I don't usually do that (I hope!). —> Aw…politics is *fun* to argue! And I'm sure you wouldn't be surprised to learn that in addition to…
#C/C++ Formatting
Message #7018
I've heard a lot about the new format for sending compressed data over the Internet. Is this it??? Reede
