[comp.sys.ibm.pc] ACTOR

patr@osiris.UUCP (Patrick Barta) (04/04/88)

I was wondering if anyone has any hands on experience with the Whitewater
Group's ACTOR program and Microsoft Windows 2.0.

I am considering ACTOR as a quick way to get some prototype
Windows programs running.

Thanks.

Yes, ACTOR is pretty cool, and pretty cheap for educational institutions, only
$99 for the first copy, $99 for a site license.

ACTOR is indeed the best way to prototype Windows programs.
