Revolution speed sucks?

Alex,

Apoligy accepted.

I was hypercard since 1987.

The Perl script is reading in from a games text file, doing all the
error-checking and writing out to a results text file in such amazing time.

Next, I think I should try the same method in Revolution instead of just
working from a field.

That might prove a magnitude of speed improvement. This is day 7 (I took a
day off).

I' ve been looking for revolution since Apple canned HyperCard. Too bad they
didn't release it into the public domain.

The result of which is I haven't had a real gui application since then (and
cross-platform building), excepting RealBasic which is object oriented,
which I'm not familiar with.

Revolution is feature rich and I'm not yet familiar with the wealth of
features, just the speed issue is something I haven't come to terms with.
You folks have been at it since MetaCard.

I'm just getting back into the game. I like Revolution's rapid development
but have probably less time to learn than the trial allows.

All the best,

Andy Burns
