Just so everyone else knows, I've replied to Matthew via email about his
problem using GFA BASIC on the Atari.

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.

Thanks,
