I do, too ;)
I meant more things like source-code descriptions, task distribution, in-code
documentation and the general discussions about parts of the modeller. When one make

a mistake in translation, days or weeks of programming can be for the trash, because

he tries to do something he knows he must do...

In all, I will create POV-Studio (as first) in english. Later follows german and
other languages.

Let suprise you by VB.net (VB 7)  ;-)   Some cool things like OOP and threading are
included. I can't tell you whether the other functions listed by you are included in

VB, because i havn't used theese up now (i'm coding mostly database-applications
with ADO or small graphical editors.

After 10 years QB/PB and 1 year VB i doesn't learn a another language ;)
I know some c++ and ASM, but haven't time to learn VC, and at work i code in VB
only.
The second is, the time to code a GUI in VB vs. VC...on program i've created in VB
in about ten hours a good VC coder (he coding VC about 5 yers long) needed about 2
weeks, and his editor was not so clear and looks so professional like my in VB.
