- Enclosed is a demo of Staz Software's PG:PRO, a user interface builder
- environment that generates FutureBASIC code. See "PG-PRO letters" for

- "Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the
- act of depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest." -- Mahatma Gandhi
-
- "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for
- the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to
- protect themselves against tyranny in government." -- Thomas Jefferson, Proposed
- Virginia Constitution, June 1776 (1 Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 -- C. J. Boyd,
- Ed., 1950)
-
- “I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people...To disarm the people
- is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.” -- George Mason, during
- Virginia’s ratification convention, 1788
-
- “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither
- inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for
- the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than
- to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence
- than an armed man.” -- Jefferson quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare
- Beccaria in On Crimes and Punishment, 1764

- Here's a clip from the PG:PRO disk:
-
- Not everyone is a professional programmer. But each of us has acquired knowledge
- in specific fields through study or job experience or just because we happened to
- be standing under the right tree when an apple fell.
-
- If you have discovered a unique way to store, analyze or calculate information
- (or perhaps you have an idea for a world class game…) there is only one (good)
- way to share it: a Macintosh application. And until now, there was only one way
- to create it: spend years learning to program.
-
- PG:PRO has changed all of that. Because now you don't have to be a professional
- programmer to create a professional FutureBASIC™ program. Just let the PRO handle
- interface operations and spend your time working on the things that made you a
- professional to begin with.
-
- Lots of folks are using the PRO. There are hobbyists, scientists, engineers,
- artists, gamers… PG:PRO has even cut new paths into the HyperCard dominated
- markets of higher education. We cover the U. S. from the University of Florida to
- Washington state's Tellabs. And we span the globe from Australia to Japan to
- France (and most points in between).
-
- Somewhere on the globe, every minute of every day, the sun is shining on a
- PG:PROfessional.
