Although this may sound like marketing hype, my exposure to _true_ visual programming tools (ie the Prograph language) leads me to believe that Tansel is not just talking through his hat. Sounds like Snowball does many of the things I've been advocating in other posts to this thread. So, when will Snowball be available? What Smalltalks does it run with? Cost? Tansel, if you need a beta tester for the MS-Windows version, keep me in mind. :-) -Tom ---------------------------------------------------------- Tom Bushell * Custom Software Development Telekinetics * Process Improvement Consulting 2653 Highway 202 * Technical Writing RR#1, Elmsdale, NS B0N 1M0 (902)632-2772 Email: tbushell@fox.nstn.ns.ca ----------------------------------------------------------
