[[SymStudio]] is a Windows-based IDE (integrated development environment) by [[Trebmint]] for SymbOS similiar to MS Visual Studio. SymStudio makes it possible to develop SymbOS applications in Assembler or Basic ("SymBasic"). It is also possible to convert PC graphics and videos into the SymbOS format ([[Format:SGX (SymbOS graphic files)|SGX]], [[Format:VID (SymbOS video files)|VID]]). Have a look at [[SymStudio|its article]] for more information. Currently there is only a beta version available.
==Porting and cross platform ability == SymbOS has been developed originally for the Amstrad CPC. Because of the modular structure with the strict separation of general and hardware components the porting to other Z80-based systems is quite easy. The [[Proyectos de Perifericos para Amstrad y MSX ( Micromanuales )|MSX]] computers starting with the MSX2 standard are supported since summer 2006. The Amstrad [[PCW|PCW]] port is available since August 2007.
By keeping a basic condition for an operating system, the strict separation of hardware and application software by the supply of an intermediate layer, SymbOS applications run platform-independently on each computer and do not have to be adapted for a special system. Exceptions are applications, which access directly the hardware.
