It is no concern of mine if your comment is correct or not; it is not
justified.
The OP may be interested to know there is a product (shareware or
commercial, not sure) that allows you to prototype in REALbasic and use
the GUI you develop with a C/C++ implementation.
Unfortunately I forget its name. I saw it before I started using
REALbasic. Perhaps a GOOGLE around "REALbasic and C/C++" or "frameworks"
may be productive. They used to advertise on the some of the programming
news groups ISTR.
Anyone else remember it?
