We have just announced Prototyper shipping for the Macintosh with code
generation (currently only in Pascal, but a 'C' version is soon to follow).
See my other posting announcement for information on Prototyper.

Prototyper helps you in several ways (even if you program in 'C').  First off,
it will generate resouces for all of the Macintosh interface items (including
icons, controls, dialogs, alerts, and windows).  This is valuable by itself.
Secondly, it generates code (in Pascal) that you can reference as a 'C'
programmer to see how your interface is implemented in Pascal for a translation.

The benefits are that you can create your entire user interface in a couple
of hours, and the output you get is completely customized to your designs.
