In the same vein, however, I'm interested in correspondence with any users of GFA BASIC (DOS or Windows versions) on the PC. Please email me if you use it. I'm impressed with its speed (as compared to VB) but some things are tricky. BTW, there was a review of VB, The Realizer and GFA BASIC in the Nov issue of Computer Language magazine.
