High Level Design

Previous versions of MathCast (version 0.75 to 0.90) were developed as a C++ Windows application. These version were first developed using Bloolshed Dev C++ and MinGW compiler. Later the developement environment was changed to Visual Studio Express. The source diligentXML, an XML DOM 3 parser that was also developed as a part of MathCast.
