  I've been looking for a good multiplatform application framework;  right
now, I'm using some code of my own that implements MFC in OS/2 functions, but
it's very limited; I only support each call as I come up with a need for it, 
so I spend as much time working on the class libraries instead of my programs.

  I would be much happier with a REAL framework--this is really only good
for quick ports of my existing Windows code, and can't take full advantage of
the flat memory model or multithreading that OS/2 provides.  Worse yet, I'm 
basically still writing Windows code, the only difference being that I can 
make OS/2 versions of the same programs!  It's absolutely repulsive.

  If you can recommend a good multiplatform applications framework, I'd like 
to hear about it.
