The main reservation I would have with advocating VMSB to you is that it is not truely Object based in the way that VB is. It has properties, but you have to call subroutines to set them, so it's a really weird hybrid. Also the company were ranting on about upgrading it in 2001 and it's still exactly as it was when I purchased it. > RuntimeRevolution http://www.runrev.com/index_uk.html sounds great but > somewhat outside of my budget. It was given away free on PC Pro - this is the Intel/Windows version. The Mac version I'm not sure about - thought he PC version does create Mac software. > Codewarrior http://www.metrowerks.com/mw/default.htm far exceeds my needs > both in budget and complexity. Again - was free on the cover of a PC magazine. Agin, dunno about a Mac version. There was a version of Smalltalk a while back, maybe that is of interest? I did an awful lot of research on this matter in 2001 when I got my first Mac. There is a real lack of good free/low priced development environments on the Mac. Have you considered Java? That may be a posibility.
