Steve, Ahhh. Try some timing outside of CanDo. Just the Deck by itself. It will be substantially faster, I think. Arrays are also on the drawing board. Just don't know when they'll be in. -Martin

Martin, Wow! You guys are certainly getting on top of things. CanDo could well become a truly fully integrated object programming system for the Amiga. That will surely open some interest in the Amiga, I would imagine, because it would make the machine virtually accessible to anyone at any level. Are you eventually planning to release the language as a standalone product? Eddie had alluded to your developing a 'mystery' language for CanDo. Steve

The primary engine for CanDo is implemented in assembly language. We think, however, that the scripting language of CanDo could be expanded into a general purpose object-oriented programming language. Interested? -Martin

Martin, No doubt there should be a lot of interest in that. Particularly if the code could be compiled to native, stand-alone (perhaps self contained in the language or outputting C code which could be compiled by existing C compilers). As a stand alone language product, however, it might be essential that the entire library not be required for compiled programs, in order to keep program size within reasonable limits. Lots of possibilities, here! Steve
