RealBasic 5.0   RealBasic 5.0 is a significant and worthy upgrade to an already fine product. As a programming environment that lets ordinary civilians write useful Macintosh software with a minimum of experience, sweat equity, and grain alcohol, RealBasic no longer stands alone—but it’s still the best choice for entry-level programmers.   People who’ve never written a line of code before will find RealBasic 5.0 a nonthreatening environment in which to acquire fundamental programming skills. Experienced programmers who are comfortable with modern BASIC will discover that they can build Cocoa or Classic applications just as professional-looking and powerful as many applications developed in more traditional, hard-core development environments like MetroWerks’ CodeWarrior and Apple’s Project Builder.   AppleScript Studio, free from Apple and usable in multiple Mac contexts, is nipping at the heels of RealBasic, but RealBasic is better at building complete applications.   With its newly rebuilt compiler and debugger, and its incorporation of OS X’s appealing interface features, RealBasic remains the most fun way to develop thoroughly modern and truly muscular applications for the Mac.   Note: Visit the company’s website to obtain a demo serial number.	PROS:  Faster and more stable compiler; improved support for networking and many OS X user-interface elements; Pro edition supports collaborative projects.   CONS:  Some projects from RealBasic 4.5 won’t compile correctly in 5.0; not easy to cut and paste between two different projects; compiled applications are large.   PRICE:  Standard edition, $100; Professional edition, $300   OS COMPATIBILITY:  Mac OS 9, Mac OS X   COMPANY:  Real Software, 512/328-7325, www.realsoftware.com   RATING:
