We are about ready to purchase a menuing / data entry software package.  
The criteria we are using to judge the various packages is the following:
	Rolalty Free
	Source Code Available
	Data Entry with attachable functions (custimize fields)
	Define context sensitive help for menus, forms & fields
	A Form Designer (prefer one which generates both source & binary files)
	Memos, tickertape fields and scrollable regions on forms
The follow is criteria which is not mandatory but helpful:
	Mouse support
	Automatic switching between color & monochrome (define both and
		have program select at runtime)
	Multiple language (requires help to be stored in disk file)

I would greatly appreciate it if some people could share their experiences 
(both positive & negative) they have had with any of the following packages:
	Vermont Views v2.0 w/Designer
	DataWindows v2.12 w/Makeform from GreenLeaf
	C-scape v3.0 w/Look & Feel from Oakland Group

Please respond through email.  Thanks in advance
