- No, but I've read a description of it in Borland Language Express.

-
- It's a new programming language. Most of the "coding" is done by
- drawing flow charts, syntax diagrams, and interface elements, with
- very small amounts of "text-based" code in it. It can interface to
- many popular languages, including C, REXX, and Pascal. It can work
- with popular databases, including dBase, Excel, and OS/2 Database
- Manager.

-
- I wouldn't try developing a finished product with it, but it appears
- to be quite useful for rapid prototyping.
