The check is actually a DOS function so I assume it's just added to a
list to check every time the filesystem is written to, I would think this
mean's about zero system slowdown. I wouldn't have too many running at
once tho.

I would recommend it's a flexible easy to learn language. Now that it's
freeware I was suprised it wasn't on the WB3.5 CD :(
There are 2 guide's that come with the main distribution Wouter's
(Author) & beginners guide which is also available seperately on Aminet.

well as a modified version of the EasyGUI module(include)</PLUG>
