Speed can and will be a problem in realtime interactivity, and in
active graphics. Did you mean "not DEcrease the runtime"?

So debug in interpreted mode. Then compile and doublecheck, then
sell your application to the masses. Speaking of double checking the
compiled code, the first "service pack" (pronounced like "bug fix")
for win2k is out,, it's 190Megs big.

Not really, but what i prolly will do is make only one or two C
compilers "approved" by RDS, due to differences in compilers.
