VPR will work with any third party function library.

They will.

You have the option to build a self contained app (no additional vpr
runtime needed) or a small version that requires the runtime files. You
can compile your scripts in a standard mode that can be read with a
simple text editior or encrypt it or even compile it into pre-tokenized
code...

Not quite that nice. But the drag-and-drop programming is terrific!
Quote:

It's all available "third party!"

Well, eventhough the scripts are compiled, it's STILL run like a rexx
script. That is, through an interpreter...

My advice is... If it's visual and rexx, you HAVE to go VisproRexx.
But don't bother buying the Bronze version, you'll soon outgrow it and
desire the extra features of the Gold version. Go GOLD.
