- Basically, Protogen generates code with special comments in it. It allows
- you to insert your modifications in the relevant spots, and if you keep it
- between the comments, Protogen should preserve your personalized code.

- I agree with the assessment that Protogen isn't worth the money. Things
- like OWL and MFC make Windows programming easier and simplistic tools like
- Protogen don't seem very useful. I'd like to play around with a full-fledged
- prototyping, CASE, tool, but Protogen certainly isn't one.
