I've released one product commercially on Mac-only, and I'm working on another product right now (in late alpha/early beta) that will be at least Mac and Windows. Linux UI is an issue. I don't use the editfield for anything other than a simple edit field. Apps have been incredibly stable, except for my own errors. The currently-released product communicates, controls and parses data from an older (Mac-only) version control system and mirrors the content, structure, and information into CVS. Because of the extensive string handling, parsing and pattern matching AI, I chose to use REALbasic. The new product is cross-platform from the start. It reads and interprets acceleration data from three mutually perpendicular accelerometers, transform the data to calculate true vertical, lateral, and longitudinal, map the path through space, provide basic analysis of that path to increase overall G loads and reduce G spikes. -- Glenn L.
