Hello Younchin,

 YM>   I'm currently using VA C++ Visual Builder on 486DX66 16M
 YM> machine. It's a bit slow in loading,

Yes, I know. Even on a P-100 VisualBuilder it gets really SLOW with 16Megs...

 YM> but the Composition Editor work fine for my small program and I find it
 YM> fast enough for learning.

Yeah, you can read a page in the programming book until the next window opens ;-))))

 YM> There are so much goodies inside the package that
 YM> I won't complain a bit. 

Yes, it's really great.
If there were a bit less RAM/CPU hunger and less bugs it would be like
"programmer's paradise".

 YM> and I'm saving some money to get another 8M than to look for any other 
 YM> alternatives.

Better go for 2 * 16megs and sell your smaller modules (16 meg PS/2 modules
are a bit cheaper per MB than smaller modules - 2 * 16M are cheaper than 4
* 8M).

 YM> Compilation is fast enough

Try Pentium optimization for speed. You'll wonder if the compiler has gone
into an infinite loop, but at some time, it'll finish ;-) They seem to try
really hard to get the last bit of speed out of a pentium with this
optimizer ...

BTW to all: *Avoid* CTV302 CSD !!! It breaks Visual Builder.

greetings. Thomas
