Had I seen more than a two hour demo that a friend did for me (and then he only repeated what he saw and he had the eval version on a few floppies so he was trying it out for a couple of days), maybe I would remember something specific. Looked like one of those code generators of the time, which were excellent at doing what they were made for, useless if you need to do something else.
