[comp.sys.ibm.pc] feedback on code-generators

   I'd appreciate feedback from anybody using the following packages:

   DrawBridge  from Courseware Applications  (from the ad, it is a drawing
package which generates Turbo C or Quick C code to reproduce your drawing)

   SoftCode  from Software Bottling ... reads a skeleton program, adds the
code to generate the screen(s) which you've created using their screen painter.

   Matrix Layout from Matrix Software .... similar to above ???  is it more
powerful, or ???

   Pro-C   from Vestronix   .... very expensive, presumably much more powerful
code generator.


   The application involves creating a development environment for non-programmers (chortle :-)/2). Essentially, they would have a selection of skeletons which
they could modify (the calculations portion). I believe that a screen painter /
code generator would be more usable than a bare function-library for modifying
the user-interface.
   I'd also prefer something which allows code-generation for the reporting 
section.
