dotnet faqs : Software for Windows and Mac
we've developed a software for the windows world (VB6) and now we are going to start with a version 2. We have many requests for running on Mac-Systems and therefore I want to find out what time the development would needed if we have realised a software for both systems. The software by itself is a "normal" windows software with UI and database (dao/ado) functionality, similar to a text processor? Is there a programmer language for both systems which enables to write only ONE code and compile it for this two systems? Thanks Peter
Yep. Java.

Hello peter,
There are several open-source implementation .net platform that u could use to run yo app on Win and Mac platforms See Mono (http://www.go-mono.com), Portable.NET (http://www.southern-storm.com.au/portable_net.html) pg> Hello, pg> we've developed a software for the windows world (VB6) and now we pg> are going pg> to start with a version 2.

Were you going to follow up your misleading answer with the rest of the
answer? Like the fact that the write once-run anywhere paradigm isn't exactly as true as you make it sound. Like the fact that there will need to be differences in the code due to the different run-times used on the different platforms.

That's only a huge problem if your org makes a bad decision to go with the 'MS-Java' Run Time (yes, I'm pointing at you Netilla!) -Darrel

It's impossible for us to say based on a short post in a newsgroup. But, the one hurdle would be the fact that you are currently using an MS-centric IDE/language (and likely a MS-DB as well) There's a product called RealBasic that is like VB but is cross-platform. But it can bog down if your application gets too large. Your best bet, though, would be to join and ask these types of questions within the Apple Developer Connection: http://developer.apple.com/ -Darrel
Not at all. Thanks for asking.

Or, look into MONO.
