GLX Application Framework

Current version: 1.0.0.7

The GLX Application Framework provides a foundation of common building blocks for building applications in Revolution (2.8.1 and above) on OS X (10.3 and above) and Windows (2000, XP and Vista). The framework takes care of common tasks such as splash stacks, loading stacks and externals at launch, working with user preferences, auto updating and more. This leaves you free to focus on coding the features specific to your application and not reinventing the wheel each time you start a new project.

The framework is free to use in your personal or commercial projects.
