- Prograph does not have a rich enough set of classes to even come *close* to
- replacing MacApp or TCL for that matter. Folks familiar with the rich set
- of classes will be sorely disappointed at what they have to pull off in
- order to make simple changes. Most classses have about six methods for
- customization. I *think* there is something like 20 or so classes set up
- for you, and you usually have to overshadow *huge* amounts of code to
- effect a simple behaviorial change. I can't recommend Prograph in its
- current version, but I have true hope for this package.
-
- In a nut shell, when the "wow factor" wears off, there isn't much of a
- development enviroment left, and you'd be better of protoyping with it.
-
- Sorry TGS folks, I truely do like your product, but you have to be at least
- as useful as Think C and the TCL...
