AppShell Appbuilder
« on: July 23, 2017, 03:18:39 PM »
After listening to Eddy Caroll interview I read it's website and at one of the Devcon (uk for him) Appshell and Appbuilder were demonstrated. Is these tools ever released by CBM?
Any info etc?

On your opinion is there any good GUI designer tool? Back then à friend of mine wrote that Designer is by far the best.

A friend of mine who was a CBM dev did have Toolmaker, it look like a 2.0 application. I'm not sure how good it was though.

Found this on usenet

“Powerwindows is obsolite. Innovatronics has a new product slated for
release at devcon in Orlando called appbuilder. They have been
working very closely with CBM and although they have been (development
necessary) vague with me about what it actually does, it is supposed
to be for C and other compiled languages what CANDO was for AREXX!”

I am the author of Toolmaker if anyone has any questions.  It's been a long time since I thought about it.

Hello, do you still have the right to Toolmaker? I don't think many people do have this tool.
Why did you wrote it, are the others products at the time not good enough for your needs?
How did it end up in the hands of CBM?
