OpenZinc is an open source, multi-platform C++ application & UI framework and widget library.
The software is based on older versions of the Zinc Application Frameworks a MOTIF inspired commercial product from the "Professional Software Associates" company, but ZAF started out life as an UI framework that simplified the building of multi-platform applications and as such supported a wide range of operating systems including DOS, Windows (16 & 32 bit), OS/2, NeXTStep, HP-UX, DESQview, QNX, SunOS, AIX, SCO Unix and more.
