}I've just heard about ProtoTyper 2.0. Does it create c source code as my
}sources told me? How does it work (comments), please.

Yes, it can generate either MPW "C" code or THINK "C" (formerly LightSpeed).
It can also generate either flavor of Pascal (or even Turbo Pascal, though
that may or may not continue to be supported by Prototyper).  With Proto-
typer, I was able to completely lay out a program I was to write, generate
all of the windows, buttons, menus, alerts, and dialogs, and was also able
to link them together and actually run my "program" from within Prototyper
without generating a single line of code.  Once convinced that it was right
(or at least as close as I needed to be for the time being), I generated
the THINK Pascal code, and have been adding in my little sections of code
where Prototyper leaves comments like {add code here for this function}.
Sure was nice to have it do all the Mac basics for me.
