"Has anybody used Prototyper 2.1?... Their demo docs say it will

Pascal.  They couldn't possibly have made a mistake as big as leaving
out C could they?  (I mean the Prototyper folks...). I would plan to use
THINK C 4.0 as the development platform..."

I've used older versions of Prototyper. If it now supports OOPS I'll
order one! But I don't think it does. 
Assuming it doesn't : I'm not sure that I would want to use it to
generate code for an Object Oriented project. The Think Class Library
(and MacApp) provides enough of an application shell to get you started.
I think I could put together an application faster with the TCL than
generating a prototype and doing A LOT of search and replace (and
general clean up). Plus the code, if it's not already OOP-ified will not
really fit into the OOP code. About the only thing it will save you time
on is dialogs.

I really liked using it for a quick start before Think 4.0 and MPW C++,
but the objects have won me over.
