You can't build a MapBasic application without MapBasic, but you can write all your code in a text editor and then compile it by running MapBasic with the -D or -L switches. Also, as long as you don't use any branching commands you can use mapbasic source code directly in the MapBasic window. There is an MBX decompiler out there, so presumeably someone who's very clever could go the other way and write a compiler to build an MBX. But I don't know if anyone's done it. - Bill Thoen --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 17159
