Consider using the class libraries that are available with
Objective-C.  These include:

 ICPAK 101  -- The foundation class library, comes standard
               with Objective-C.

 ICPAK 201  -- The windows library.

 ICPAK 301  -- The graphics library.

Example software comes with the class libraries that is
EXREMELY useful to directly incorporate into application
products.  Also be sure to get the browser, its the best
"C derivative" browser I've used.

Since Objective-C is available on a wide variety of machines
and operating systems, software you develop using these
libraries will be portable to a wide variety of machines
(and windowing systems).

For more details, contact Stepstone at (203) 270-9797.  The
people there are very friendly, knowledgable, and helpful.
