SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:

MEWEL is a portable implementation of the MS Windows API; MEWEL/Motif is an implementation of the Windows API, MFC, and OWL for Motif. It is a C library, but is type-safe for C++. You can program your applications in C, or can use Microsoft's MFC, Borland's OWL, Liant's C++/Views, or wxWindows. MEWEL supports the usual stuff including icons, MDI, dialog boxes. MEWEL/Pro supports the 16 and 32-bit extenders that come with Borland PowerPack, Pharlap 286, Pharlap 386/TNT, Watcom/Rational DOS/4GW, and DJGPP's GO32. MEWEL is the only user interface library that can be implemented totally as a DOS DLL under Borland's PowerPack. A "lite" version of MEWEL is distributed with the DOS text and DOS graphics versions of zApp. Their product has also been ported to Gnu C++ (DJGPP) on the PC.

 

FUTURE PLANS:

"We are working on a version for MFC/NT [Microsoft Foundation Classes/Windows NT] using Pharlap TNT extender, but it's not ready yet." One nifty ramification of this is that one will be able to use MEWEL and the Pharlap DOS extender in order to port Windows NT applications to DOS.
