CompuTest LLC, a Lansing, Michigan-based software development firm, has successfully completed porting its Electronic Bluebook software product to Mac OS X, according to a new case study now available from REAL Software, makers of REALbasic. "We were astounded at how fast and easy it was to port our product to the Mac with REALbasic," expressed Greg Mitchell, a principal at CompuTest. CompuTest, LLC offers Electronic Bluebook, a secure electronic test-taking program, to law schools. The product was originally built on the Windows platform using Microsoft Visual Basic. Due to the increase in the number of students using Mac OS X laptops, CompuTests' client institutions requested a Mac version of Electronic Bluebook. By using REALbasic Professional for Windows that cross-compiles to the Mac and assistance from REAL Software's network user group, an online community and resource for REALbasic developers, CompuTest was able to deliver a beta version of Electronic Bluebook for the Mac in only 12 working days. The case study is available online at
