- Even if you didn't get the "with App Frameworks" edition, you should

- Protogen works w/ OWL. One of the setup options in Pgen is whether
- you are doing straight C, C++ or C, C++ w/ OWL. You are correct you
- can't solve this second problem until you solve the first.
-
- Note: I don't use Protogen, I use Object/Designer.
