Thanks for posting the list and please do post the AOL discussion if at all possible. I only have two remaining question about PB 3.0: (1) What kind of overhead do you pay for all the fancy no-limits string handling? I mean, do do end up with 20K executables for any program which does non-trivial string manipulation? (2) What does the executable code look like in relation to, say, Borland Pascal? Any optimizations (even if very simple)? I have yet to see any information on this. (It is not really that important to me, but I'd like to be reassured that PB generates fairly clean code.) Otherwise, I think PB sounds like an excellent product. -- James Hague exuhag@exu.ericsson.se
