Hello folks,
Scott knows that I've been working on a trade study for the past millennium
or so. I thought I finally put it to bed, but the customer has a question
regarding how cross-platformable MetaCard really is. The reason they are
skeptical is that the previous development package was HP-UNIX IconAuthor,
and they had assurances from the IconAuthor's Company du jour that
IconAuthor was easily transferred across platforms. T'ain't so. I've spoken
with perhaps the only existing HP-UNIX developers, and they recommended
strongly against even attempting transporting stuff developed in UNIX to a
Windows environment. I believe them, because I saw the scars myself. Not a
pretty sight.
So, my question is who out there has really tested MetaCard's cross-platform
abilities, especially from/to UNIX and Windows. Scott warned us about the
font issue, which I guess is a given anyway. Any other comments? I
personally am convinced that MetaCard is the way to go, but I need some
muscle to flex at the customer.
Thank you!
