Mac -> Win problems

[Charles Hartman]

(this is off-list because I'm tired of being A Complainer on list)

Am I missing something? The HI guidelines for the two platforms are  
different. Rev is a cross-platform app builder. Yet it builds apps  
that -- in this low-level design area -- don't conform to the  
different HIGs? There's a Rev engine for Win, there's a Rev engine  
for Mac, they both talk to the underlying platform to put up an  
"answer" dialog, and they don't take account of this difference  
between the platforms? Isn't there something wrong with this??
