Visual Basic is supposed to be really neato. I have a friend who works in San Jose (CA) desigining Windows applications (the firm he works for escapes me at the moment). He told me the entire company is switching from C++ to Visual BASIC for application development! Must be pretty powerful... certainly it's easy to use (BASIC's big strength -- sort of like Macintoshes: it's easy to use, and under some circumstances can actually be useful ;-) ). He has written an interface package for VB that gives you the ability to easily create some fancy buttons, with tricks like animation, etc. I won't plug it on the net, but if anyone is interested, you can mail me and I'll forward your messages to him. (he doesn't have net access) -- William R Ward <hermit@cats.ucsc.edu> I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning. -- Proverbs 7:17-18
