Enclosed is "Windows MFC SDI" - an early developer release of the AppMaker 2 code generators for MFC. It generates code and resources comparable to the Symantec or Visual C++ "AppWizards" or "AppExpert".
These extended code generators are the result of a collaboration between Bowers Development and A.D. Software. Marketing and price details have yet to be confirmed.
An example AppMaker project 'Demo1Dlg.am' is enclosed together with the results of generation, in the 'MFC generated' folder.
The accompanying 'Res' folder contains additional resources for the project, created by hand.
It is intended that the code generator help translate Mac projects to Windows UI standards, by automatically mapping equivalent commands or buttons where possible.
