Most of the programs that I know of that are written in the various
flavors of Basic don't advertise that fact. Nevertheless, here are
a few examples:
1. EasyCASE Plus (Evergreen Case Tools)
2. FontMinder (Ares Software)
3. Windows Sound System (Microsoft)
4. StockChart (Young Sotware Works)
5. Test (Microsoft) <more of a hybrid, really>
Of course, these are shrink-wrapped packages in the PC arena, and
there are probably quite a few people in the government / academic
community to whom the PC seems to be only a minor blip on their
horizons. Thankfully, they'll all be formatting their resumes using
languages like TEX while the rest of us watch them become rapidly
dwindling specks in our rearview mirros! <g>
