= Dynamic Windows =

Dynamic Windows is an application framework that was designed to make it easy to create dynamic applications with a modern interface. It was modeled after the original GTK library on Unix. It uses the concept of box packing to create a dynamically resizable interface. Dynamic Windows is used by Mark Hessling's Rexx/DW package.

There are stable source modules for OS/2, Unix (with GTK2/3/4), Windows, MacOS X (Cocoa) and iOS. 64bit builds are supported on all platforms except OS/2. The library has been tested on x86, amd64, arm, arm64, ppc64, ppc32 and sparc64.  There is a beta source module for Android.  

There are language bindings for REXX, C++ (alpha version included in the package), Go and FreeBASIC.
