I have spent a few hours working with version 1.3 of Power Windows.
The documentation is as Mark described, which is to say, nearly non-
existent.  But it does indeed beat hand coding.  In 1.3, there is
still no support for Prop gadgets, and still no image editor and so
on.  In fact, from his description, I don't know that I could tell
the difference between a 1.1 and a 1.3 release.

I sent in the registration card about 8 weeks ago, along with a
"please tell me when the upgrades become available".  No response
yet, so I am surprised to hear about advertising re 2.0 availability.
Power Windows is, I believe, a good idea.  If I had had the time,
I'da put out a similar package, but of course with considerably
better documentation.  Basically I encourage them - we all could
use a well executed tool of this kind.  Hoping they respond
appropriately - for $89.95 (which I paid, in full), I must say
I expected more.   By the way, the source that 1.3 produces
had a couple of errors that made me modify my Manx include
files - if I remember correctly, in some of the Intuition
structures, there are now UBYTE * in place of CHAR * - sorry,
its been a while.   Just try to compile their output under
Manx and you'll find out what I mean.  Tiny nit, but you gotta
fix it.
