Hello,

  Has anybody used Prototyper 2.1?  A demo version came with my hard disk, and
after spending an hour or two with it, I am favorably impressed.
Unfortunately, the demo was crippled so as not to save in any format, so I
can't look at the source code this thing generates.

  If anybody has used it, I'd be very interested in hearing about it.
Specifically, the quality and compatiblity of the code it generates.

  Their demo docs say it will generate both Pascal and C source, but
MacWarehouse's ad only mentions Pascal.  They couldn't possibly have made a
mistake as big as leaving out C could they?  (I mean the Prototyper folks...).
I would plan to use THINK C 4.0 as the development platform...

  If it is at all worthwhile, please tell me! I have a project that needs to
be finished ASAP, and this would definitely speed things up a LOT!

  Oh, BTW, does it deal with multiple screens at all?  My personal Mac is
single-screen, but the one this will eventually run on may not be.  My
application may need to span both screens...

  While I'm on the subject, are there any programs around like Prototyper, but
that generate THINK C 4.0 or C++ object-oriented source?

Many thanks in advance,
--Mike
