Jim,

I'm curious. You say you are programing in REAL BASIC. I assume this
is compiled.

Yes fully compiled.

I've always been curious about Microsoft Visual Basic which (when I
was using it) was almost truly Object Orientated and was also
compiled. It was a wonderfully easy environment to learn and use.

Real Basic is very similar to Visual Basic from a programming standpoint.

Do you know how the speed of computation for Visual Basic compares to
C?

I don't but with the current and future speed of newer processors plus the
continuing increase in speed of compiled Real Basic, I'd venture to say that
for most if not all future programs, the execution and even compile speeds
will not be an issue.
