Ah yes, but don't they teach C/C++ at all the colleges? Show me a
college where VP is taught!?!?

I have no doubt that if Bill Mc. & Co. are successful, VP could very
well be taught in some classes. But for right now C/C++ is the 'King
of the Hill' as it were. I see the AVE/AVO C interface is actually
quite lacking. I certainly understand things are being rushed along
as quickly as possible, I'm just trying to give directional pointers
from the average Joe programmer who only knows C/C++.

Anyway, I may have to delve into VP in the short-term just to get some
kind of test system going for my program(s).

Now, stop playing with FreeBall and get back to work on those C
headers and examples! *big grin*
