I recommend that you use Ada 95 and GtkAda. The app I'm developing just needed to be compiled under Windows to work. It is being developed under Linux of course. Ada 95 is highly portable. C and C++ are not. Ada 95 Info: Ada is the most powerful object-oriented general purpose programming language. It has built-in concurrency, built-in exception handling, built-in generic templates, built-in distributed execution, standard and defacto standard interfaces to other programming languages and libaries, compiles also to Java Byte Code (if you want) and just about any OS under the sun, and a rich set of primitives for getting at and putting to work all that expertise you've embedded in your software.
