Jerry, I worked with Toolbook years ago. I've heard it has improved alot since then. It was adequately fast on a 386/33, so unless it has gotten much slower, it should be fine on any 486. The think I liked about it is that we were able to write DLLs in C and then call functions in those DLLs from Toolbook. We did the user interface in Toolbook and the data crunching and the MIDI interface in C. It worked well. Anyway, I guess what I was getting at is that if you can code DLLs in C, then you can work around most shortcommings you might find with Toolbook. Bailey
