hi,

For developing Macintosh software thre is a very powerful tool
called MacApp. It is a generic application that the application
programmer has to customize to make a specific program.
Because it is implemented in an object oriented fashion, it does
a lot more than a 'dead' library of subroutines.


In the organization where I work at the moment, X is being implemented
on custom Unix boxes. If X is up & working, applications must be
developed under X. We all know how steep the learning curve is 
for developing event driven, object oriented modeless applications.
We also know MacApp like tools reduce development time greatly. So...

Question: does an equivalent package exist for developing 
applications under X ? I'm not refering to the user interface libraries
that come with the X package, but to a true generic application.

Any hints ?
