Ok. Let me be a little more specific. I have been programming in c in
a unix and linux environment for years. I know how to format and print
output in that environment, whether it be to the print spooler or
directly through a serial port or whatever. Windows is a different
critter. If I want to submit output to the windows print spooler, how
do I do that? If there are multiple printers available to the windows
workstation, how do I allow the user to select which printer? Are there
tools to format the output; fonts, pitches, scalable graphics? I have a
complete suite of text based accounting applications, written in c that
I intend to port to a windows environment and I need to know if Dev-cpp,
MySQL and FLTK will get me where I need to go. It is my understanding
that FLTK 1.2 will eventually support print formatting. It=92s the
eventually part that worries me. Maybe there is a better way to go. I
have given WxWindows a look as well. I did some prototyping with MySQL
and FLTK in Cygwin, but I would prefer to use Dev-cpp.=20
