A Cross Platform Solution

AbsoftTools presents a consistent interface on each of the three popular computing platforms. While the basic operation of the interface is identical across all platforms, AbsoftTools adopts the native platform's look and feel for window decoration, command short cuts, and standard dialogs. In addition, specific build targets such as Microsoft Windows DLLs and Mac OS Carbon framework applications are supported as required. The following three screen shots show the primary AbsoftTools window when running on Linux, Apple's Mac OS, and Microsoft Windows and demonstrate the similarity of the interfaces.
