In response to a previous request for information about replacing Clipper
with C,  Stephen M. Dunn recommended I try Pro-C, a code generator made by
Vestronix, in Waterloo.  I called them, and got a spiel with a lot of hype,
a lot of hard sell, and some (very little) decent factual information. 
Since the only demo I can get from them cost $50 (They send the product, and
if I don't like it in 30 days I can return it but still pay S&H), I would
like to hear from anybody who has used it, or another product I just say
advertised called Code Base IV.  Please tell me:

o	Did it work well?
o	Did you do much hand tweaking of the code?
o	What type of project was it?
o	How large was the project?
o	Were you an experienced C programmer when you started?
o	Were you an experienced dBase/Clipper programme when you started?
o	What did you like about it?
o	What did you hate about it?
o	Did you ask for and recieve technical help or upgrades from them?

Thanks.
