[25 Jul 2009] An Example of a Windows Executable Made with Hollywood

If anyone was wondering how well Hollywood is able to compile executables for Windows, you may find this interesting.

CollageMaker (from OS4 Depot) is also available for the PC as Shareware through CNet (http://download.cnet.com/Grid-Collage-M ... 15539.html). This is a good example of how Hollywood can compile the same scripts into executables in Windows format (as well as others).

The Windows version looks identical to the OS4 version (though the button font is not as sharp). One benefit to the Windows version is that with more powerful machines available, working with a bunch of high-resolution pictures can be a lot faster. As far as the program itself is concerned, the only difference between the OS4 and Windows versions is that the Amiga version is freeware and the PC version is shareware ($5 registration).

Any suggestions for the Amiga or PC version are welcome.

Looks very good! Kudos for the implementation of an OS4-lookalike GUI with Hollywood :-)
