Summary: Power Windows Version 2


I have been beta testing Power Windows V2.0 for the last couple of weeks.
It really is a helpful product. 

As with V1.0 , Power Windows V 2.0 allows you to create windows and
menus by drawing them on the screen.  It then generates the source
code (that you then include in your own program).  As a test of my
limited Midi knowledge, I built a program that controlled my Casio CZ1
synth. I used Power Windows to quickly generate a menu of 80+ items
(which was over 1000 lines of source code). This saved me a tremendous
amount of time.

New features of V2.0 include the ability to define multiple screens
and windows, Yes, You can also specify what kind of screen you would like to
use and have Power Windows generate the correct structures.

Another "interesting" feature is what I call "steal a window". Power
Windows will present you with a list of all opened windows. You tell
it which one you want and it will make an exact copy of it (including
information such as menus and gadgets). You then tell it to generate
source code.

The final release of Power Windows will have the ability to generate 
Modula-2 code.

I'll post more information when I have a little more time to play with
the product.
