No. But there is a feature request for externals.

REALBasic also is able to call external libraries. On MacOSX, Linux and
Win32.

I find it interesting that the title is 'Analyzing competitors'.

Given that both RunRev and RealBasic can use tcpip sockets I think of the
products as complimentary. I prefer REALBasic do to it's ability to
subclass. Others I work with prefer RunRev. Some even prefer Filemaker.
