Yeah, pretty much everyone and his brother had a framework: - Apple, MacApp - Microsoft: MFC, and others - Borland: I forget what they called their stuff - Anyone remember Taligent? Apple, HP and IBM, all getting together in a money-burning party... - NeXT / Apple revival: NextStep / OpenStep, etc. - Any number of minor players, including folks with Honest to Goodness Smalltalk implementations (none of which have survived to this day, I believe) - Java stuff that I have mercifully forgotten ... they were nearly all crazy, and nothing was portable. So much for the promise of OOP :-)
