I understand the Win32 API (one of it's incarnations) will be sort of
an industry standard, at least on Microsoft and Unix platforms. 
Some company just announced that they have licensed from Microsoft
the Windows SOURCE CODE, and that somehow, this results in the Win32
API being an industry standard on Unix AND Microsoft.  Sorry I don't
remember names, but it was announced on one of the comp.os.ms-windows.*
or *.nt.* newsgroups.
