Neil,
Tell you what. You sit down at your Macintosh and write the code to handle a
single closeable, resizeable, zoomable window on the Macintosh all with a
standard Apple menu and a minimal File menu. Then I'll sit down at my PC and
do the same thing in Windows. Guess what? You're code will be _much_ _much_
longer and significantly more complex than my Windows code.
If that doesn't convince you, then lets add multiple document windows. You
see, you're problem gets exponetially difficult whilst I just ride on the
Multiple Document Interface.
I've programmed Macintosh. I've programmed Windows. Windows is noticeably
_and_ significantly easier to program than Macintosh. I've done both…I know.
David
