  22. [I] Open Phone Abstraction Library
  23. [T] PWLib is a moderately large class library that has its genesis many
  24. [T] years ago as a method to product applications to run on both
  25. [T] Microsoft Windows and Unix X-Windows systems. It also was to have a
  26. [T] Macintosh port as well but this never eventuated.
  27. [T]
  28. [T] Since then the system has grown to having quite good application to
  29. [T] areas other than mere Windows GUI portability. Classes for I/O
  30. [T] portability, multi-threading portability, aid in producing unix
  31. [T] daemons and NT services portably and all sorts of internet protocols
  32. [T] were added over the years.
  33. [T]
  34. [T] All this over and above basic "container" classes such as arrays,
  35. [T] linear lists, sorted lists (RB Tree) and dictionaries (hash tables)
  36. [T] which were all created before STL became the answer to all our prayers.
  37. [T] Unfortunately, due to intertia and the GNU C++ inadequate support of
  38. [T] templates, this library will probably not be ported to STL in the near
  39. [T] future.
  40. [T]
  41. [T] The library was used extensively for all our in-house products. Then
  42. [T] we decided to support the open H323 project by throwing in some of the
  43. [T] code written for one of our products. Thus, required PWLib so it got
  44. [T] thrown into the open source world as well.
