Re: PC RPG compiler

Does either VARPG or the cross-works product require a runtime license?

Sorry about that blank fat finger:

What you should be looking at is www.cross-works.com .   This product
still has some way to go to be a full development environment, but so far
what it has is really nice...compiles are FAST and so is runtime...

Unfortunately, it's at a 4.5 or 4.4 level and not ready for 5.1 yet...but
I think they'll make it...
