Finally, I got around to putting this comparison out.  It is
for those interested in knowing how HyperSense compares
to the NEXTSTEP AppKit.  I am sorry, but I don't support
either product in an official compacity, so you are
likely to be on your own regarding questions.  Call
either NeXT or Thoughtful Software, maybe then can help
you.

As for this distribution...

Bong.app is a short and simple "Grandfather" clock
application.  It is supposed to show the basics
of a NS application.

Bong.sense is a lesser prototype of the Bong.app
and shows that most if not all the functionality
of Bong.app can be done in HyperSense using
SenseTalk.


Not so obvious is the quick design and verification
cycle that HyperSense offers.  The completion of
Bong.sense took about 20-30 minutes.  The completion
of Bong.app took about 1.5 hours.  To be able to 
proto an app beyond the GUI is a bonus in a huge
way.  With more XModules coming every day to HyperSense
the functionality of prototyping is being expanded
beyond that of HyperSense's standard objects.

I hope this helps show some of the reasons I use
and think others should consider using HyperSense
as a first to second iteration prototyping tool.
