abstract

The Portable Application Code Toolkit (PACT) is a comprehensive,
integrated, and portable software development environment created for
applications having unique requirements not met with available software.
By defining a single, higher level, standard programming interface,
it shields appplication developers from the plethora of different hardware
architectures and operating systems and their non-standard features.
PACT is a set of libraries and utilities that easily integrates into
your software project.
