It does run a bit slow, but I presume that it is interpreted to make it
totally platform/OS
independent. ???? (ie. a lot of added value for the vendor and client)

This is a massive investment upfront, and will require faster machines than
mine (:-)-
but later on new features can be just plugged in "as is" without native
Windows yet again giving you
_bloody_ nightmares.
I think it has its merits, it indicates a strong, long term commitment by
the tool vendor if my presumption
above is correct - Clyde ?

When we all bought out first 486DX100 we all thought we had the "bee's
knees".
Who would want one now ?
IOW there is/will be faster machines around (addmitedly I am running on only
an AMD750
with WIN98SE)

I'll go to XP-or-whatever-the-latest-craze-is when I get a 2 GHz machine.
