I have used Prototyper from SmethersBarnes. It costs $189 from
MacConnection, other mail orders houses have a similar price.  It lets
you click and drag to build up an interface with menus, windows,
dialogs, alerts, etc. Then you can have it spit out several flavors of
Pascal or C code. The code is not optimized, but it runs and MAY serve
as a starting place for a finished application.

There have been several new CASE tools and code generators introduced
in the last 9 months. Prototyper is the only one I have used, though.
