No, but I've read a description of it in Borland Language Express.

It's a new programming language.  Most of the "coding" is done by
drawing flow charts, syntax diagrams, and interface elements, with
very small amounts of "text-based" code in it.  It can interface to
many popular languages, including C, REXX, and Pascal.  It can work
with popular databases, including dBase, Excel, and OS/2 Database
Manager.

I wouldn't try developing a finished product with it, but it appears
to be quite useful for rapid prototyping.
