David, We develop an application for both Mac and Windows at my company. On the Mac, I use TCL, and the Windows dudes use MFC. It usually takes 1.3 times longer to implement the same features than I do. A lot of it has to do with TCL being more robust than MFC (I know, I know, some would argue with this statement) in that I can easily implement our features. I use TCL's CTable class, for example, and it provides a good foundation for building on. MFC doesn't really have an equivalent. Doing simple things like changing the cell color or bolding text within a cell/row just aint that simple in MFC. For us, this is no illusion. It takes longer to build the same functionality into the Windows app as it does our Mac app. The 1.3 number comes from evaluating actual development time. > Mark
