It is a WYSIWYG user interface developer for Windows that looks to be pretty nice. I know some folks that had a copy and they really liked it. From what I understand it generates a high-level BASIC that can be 'interpreted' for debugging, then compiled into an .EXE for production. Can anyone shed more light on this? If this is really the best thing since sliced bread, why use SDK? -- Mark Horstman mh2620@sarek.sbc.com Southwestern Bell Telephone St. Louis, MO -- adams@swbatl.sbc.com Southwestern Bell Telephone Advanced Technology Lab
