I would like some information about a program called Protyper by SmetherBarnes.
Has anyone had good/bad experiences? Is it worth its price? I am particularly
interested in its interface to Lightspeed Pascal.
I tried calling MacConnection, and other software houses to get a price, but
they knew nothing of it. Is there a place to get it besides SmetherBarnes?

I don't think that it is available from major distributors yet, but the Publishing Department says that it will be soon (they say they are being courted heavily by the major vendors). ComputerWare has bought and has a large shipment, so you might try them. In the mean time, I believe the $99 direct price will hold until March 1 if you buy direct from SmethersBarnes. By this time the major distributors will have it. Call at 1-503-274-2800 to get better information from the Publishing Department. >Has anyone had good/bad experiences? Is it worth its price?

We have had a lot of good response from our initial customers, but I'm not the one to say as I have an obvious interest in its success. It does, however work well with Lightspeed Pascal. Anything you can do with Prototyper can be generated into LSP code and compiled to create a stand-alone or starting point for application development. Paul Smethers SmethersBarnes
