QuickBasic has a feature called pure code resources that might help you.
You can write external procedures in another language (C,Pascal or asm)
and have them be called from your quickbasic program. This way you
could keep the interface in Quickbasic and the time critical code
in an extrernal. I use this all the time.


There are a lot of ways to speed up the execution time of quickbasic programs.
I'm sure that any pascal compiler would generatge more effecient code than
basic.
