In a message dated 11-15-98, Fred Springfield said to David Noon about "Va
Basic"

Hi Fred,

FS>It runs just fine here with a pentium 200 and 64 mb of RAM.  The
FS>resulting OS/2 .exe's take a few moments to load because of all the
FS>extra DLL's which must be loaded, I guess, but once open, the programs
FS>run just fine.

It seems that the VAB interpreter is, itself, written in an interpretive
language, SmallTalk, so the SmallTalk interpreter has to be loaded first.

FS>Have you been following my current discussion with Denis Tonn on the
FS>POPUPLOG error messages--and do you see that on your Warp 4 machine?

Yes and no, respectively.

I don't see many traps from it these days, as I seldom use it now.

FS>It's the only thing bothering me about it now.

I am still disappointed about its performance.

Regards

Dave
