Inmark zApp vs. Borland Object Windows Library
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"zApp is a second-generation application framework for C++ under Windows that
|
||
|
|
implements the same general concepts as Borland's Object Windows Library but
|
||
|
|
takes them significantly further, with about 130 classes. ... The zApp class
|
||
|
|
library is larger than OWL's and much richer." - Jeff Duntemann, Editor-in-
|
||
|
|
Chief, PC Techniques, Apr/May 92.
