[comp.sys.mac] VIP graphic programming language

Has anyone tried the VIP graphic programming/flowchart software?

You are supposed to be able to describe a program's flow chart, and
then actually have the program run, without having to translate the
flow chart into code.  It also claims to transfer the flowchart to
pascal or C code for later compilation.  I have several questions:

1.  This sounds nice, but how to you include complex algorithms,
    or low level code which doesn't really flow chart easily?

2.  Does it really work?

Thanks for any response, if this works, I'm going to try VIP as
an alternative to spending many tedious hours writing C code.
