Does anyone have experience using ByteWorks' Design Master? I saw the description in the ByteWorks upgrade offer, and it sounds like a reasonable interface builder, like I have heard of on other windowing systems. I presume that it will in some sense allow you to create various dialogs using a mouse and then instantiate the dialog in C, Pascal or assembly when you get what you want. You can then presumably include that code in your application. Is this the way it works? Does it work reasonably well? Does it require anything in the way of resources that Orca/C or Orca/Pascal doesn't? Thanks, Bill Harris billh%hplsla@hplabs.hp.com Hewlett-Packard Co.

I have not written any programs yet because I just started on the GS, and I just got a hold of all the manuals I needed, but I have set up windows, dialog boxes, and alert boxes with Design Master. It will let you save them out as C, Pascal, or Assembler code, and it will let you save them out as resources. The manual includes a nice little tutorial that steps you through the creation of a simple word processor. There are a few parts where the manual does not match what you see on the screen, but if you go by the manual you will be ok. I created the windows, alert and dialog boxes by flipping through the manual, so you don't have to use the tutorial. It saves its code out as Orca source, but I guess you could save it as a resource and use that.
