  For those who are knowledgeable of Prograph v2.5 (i.e., purchased
  and/or  experimented  with the package), I'd like to ask you what
  you think of it.  In particular,

    * Does it have a steeper learning curve than conventional Mac
      application programming (say, using THINK C v5.0.2)?

    * Does the package offer what the TGS Systems guys promise in
      their specs. (OO features, excellent programming environment,
      support for integrated C and Pascal libraries, good interface
      builder and editor/interpreter, an integrated database engine,
      debugger, SQL connectivity support, etc.)?

    * Since both Prograph and THINK C are  sold  at  a  low  market
      price of approx. $199.00 (though I'm sure THINK  C  can  be  
      purchased at lower
      educational prices, but I need to check that out), which one
      would you suggest me to use in order to actually learn Mac
      application programming?  Let's say that my intentions are
      geared toward industry requisites (for instance, I've worked
      with X11R4, so that falls within "industry-based" application 
      production software).

  I don't expect a stampede of respondents, so you can
  go ahead and post your opinion/answers and I'll read
  your [public] postings.

  I appreciate your advices beforehand.
