I have never tried this, but would a program written for Windows API compile
on a Gnu compiler?

If it did compile, would it run and look and function the same on a Unix
clone?

If not, is there an easy way (aside from shelling out thousands of bucks for
a Borland product) to write code for graphical apps that will compile and
run and basically look and function the same under a Unix as a Windows OS?
