- To me it seemed to only compile a subset of the HyperTalk language.
- E.g screen operations wasn't very affected, though character and
- number manipulations was done with 'full speed' if the operations
- were on variables and not on fields.
- So I could as well written those XCMDs in 'C'

- But I'm still curious about The Stack Runner from Symmetry Software.

- Has anybody tried it ?
