Howdy,

I've got some fairly simple Windows programming to do, just point and click
stuff.  However, I might end up doing fairly complex programs.  I'd like to
work in Windows because the Windows environment seems to be easier for what
I'd like to do.  What is the more powerful, easy, and complete programming
tool, CA:Realizer or Visual Basic?  I probably don't have the cash to buy
Visual Basic Pro, so I'm limited to the lowly version.  If it's any help, I
have lots of experience programming in QuickBasic 4.5

Sorry I'm a bit jumbled, but I've got to rush off and teach a class.

Thanks to anyone who can help me make this choice!

...Jay

I use VB 2.0 and I love it.  It may have some limitations but I 
haven't bumped up against them yet.  Sorry, no experience with 
CA:Realizer.  However, I can direct you to the Dec. 1992 issue of 
Byte for a comparison of VB, CA:Realizer and GFA-BASIC.  They 
review VB 1.0 but include a blurb about 2.0.  I used 1.0 and 
find 2.0 a big improvement: MDI, multi-select file windows, etc.

Also, there are many 3rd party add-ons for VB.

I'm not sure what VB Pro offers.  I decided I couldn't afford 
it anyway...
