Yes! Glockenspiel's designer C++ is fully compatible with Microsoft C and
Windows, and can be used for direct Windows development.

Glockenspiel's designer C++ 5.1 is currently the only version of C++
which supports all Microsoft extended keywords (near, far, cdecl and pascal),
these keywords being essential for use with Windows.

Glockenspiel's CommonView class library also offers an Object-Oriented
framework for Windows development and is currently on Beta release for
Microsoft Windows 2.03. This provides a generic Object-Oriented environment for
developing windowing software in C++, and will be available later for X11 and
NeWS.
