Open Interface

Open Interface
A toolkit that can give applications the look of several major windowing environments running on several different operating systems is something of a programmer's dream.
—Open Interface Grants Programmer's Wishes, InfoWorld (1991)[1]

Open Interface was an early cross-platform graphical user interface toolkit by Neuron Data. Released in March 1991, Open Interface featured a WYSIWYG editor and supported DOS, Macintosh, OS/2, VMS, Microsoft Windows 3.0, and other platforms.[1] The toolkit made use of widgets and produced ANSI C code.[1][2]

The product was well-received and considered an industry standard at the time.

Neuron Data sold the rights to the product to HCL where it continues its life under the Presenter5 name.[3]
