This thread was never even related to QuickBasic, so why did you bring it in when there was no need for it? You should be comparing GFA to OmniBasic, which is [obviously] what this thread is about. Nobody compared GFA to QB, or even mentioned QB in this thread, so you had no reason to mention anything about the size of its statement library; it isn't relevant to anything at all. As usual, it seems you're only looking for a reason to tout GFA and put down just about every other BASIC. -Jesse > >-- X-Bios ========================================================= There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD & UNIX.
