MyLook is a free open framework standard with a common interface. Capable of loading diverse application modules, it presents you, or your end-users, with one easy to use graphic user interface (thick GUI) or web interface (thin Webclient).

It is an open standard and thus, if you are a developer, you can obtain the interface description between MyLook and it's modules from SciBit at no cost and develop your own applications which plug into the MyLook interface.  This will not only enable you to leverage SciBit's distribution network, but will also lighten your workload in that you would only have to develop the functionality you want to implement, instead of "reinventing" the wheel each time for every new application.  Developing for MyLook is truly as simple as choosing between the DLL (only two functions) or ActiveX (only two interfaces) APIs, and designing your applications' forms.  Write a help file, and even that will plug into MyLook and be brought up in a context sensitive manner when your end-user requests help while using your application module.  You can use any coding environment or platform you wish, from C++, Delphi, VB, to any .NET development environment.
