But the >main reason for RDS over C4GL is the Interactive Debugger. :) The client I'm working for now has the debugger, but not RDS. Great! I think they may be paying for maintenance on it too. I figured the debugger and faster compile times were behind your preferences, but I didn't have a good feel for difference in execution speed. If it were 300% faster I could see where you might want both, but maybe not at 25%. I wouldn't even have asked, but sometimes an hour or two goes by and my perception is ten minutes.
