 I would unreservedly recommend PowerWindows for any programmer who wants
custom screens, windows, menus, and gadgets in his/her/its programs.  I've used
this program for a while now, and design all of the above structures with it.
I doubt if ShowFont would be as user-friendly if I didn't use this program.
 Well, satisfied customer aside, the program does have a couple of faults.
For example, it still insists on not drawing borders around requesters (at
least when you translate it to Lattice C), the C code generated does not
include all the flags that you wanted (GADGHCOMP, for example - I think this
might be because it has a 0 value, but it should still be in there), and a
couple of other minor faults.  I wrote the company with a list o' suggestions,
but haven't received any feedback.
 Overall, though, the program is well worth the $79.95 (or so) that it costs.
It supports many languages (C, Modula, Assembly, etc.) for code generation,
and is just really nice to have when you need to make a nice fluffy interface
for your programs.
