- There should be an option in Protogen that allows using OWL with C++ or
- just SDK calls with C. Try switching it to the latter and give it a
- try. It worked for me.

- For each control (menu or button) there is entry in a switch statement.
- Protogen generates special pairs of comments for each of these. Any
- code added there is preserved in successive generations. There are also
- comment pairs for the top of each file (the header section) where you
- can declare variables and include your own header files.
-
- This approach is IMHO a very powerfull way to go. Sun Microsystems
- sells a similar tool for X Windows that uses the same approach. We
- will be looking very strongly at using Protogen for production software.
