After having bought it, I used it once, then went back to writing from scratch. The advantage of being able to run prototypes while in Prototyper hardly balances the disadvantage of not being able to use the code it generates. I am sure there are people who are comfortable using Prototyper; I'm just not one of them. Is it possible to compile AppMaker-generated code without having to add any of your own? >I was really disappointed with Prototyper 3.0 with the 'userevent' >method you are forced to work with. I ended up trading it for >AppMaker. Bowers has a Prototyper to AppMaker trade-in offer. >Trade-in price is under $150. What is the mailing address of Bowers Development, and can they be reached by electronic mail? Does the trade-in offer extend to users of Prototyper 2.1 as well as Prototyper 3.0? -- _____________________________________ ____________________________________ | David Byers ||SnailMail: David Byers | | Linkoping Institute of Technology || Ryds Alle 9:204 | | || S-58251 Linkoping | | c90davby@odalix.ida.liu.se || SWEDEN | | byers@nanny.lysator.liu.se || | `-------------------------------------'`------- New SnailMail Address ------'
