I prefer to hav program with only a few fechers bilt in, and to ad more fechers use JavaScript and/or VBscript just ad a few lines uv code and new fechers is aded! That is wat I did wen I make ZZO EMAIL program. It dusent do much bi it self, for example, it dusent hav sumthing to atomaticly ad peple to mailing lists and stuf like that, but just ad about 7 lines uv code to the SETING.VB$ file and now it dus that! Do you want it to ask for the POP3 password evry time it starts up? Just ad a few lines uv code and it works that way. You dont evin need a compiler. Anuther kinds uv programs I prefer is command-programs, I use alchemy to convert piccher files and make animated gif files. Alchemy is a program that is just run from the MS-DOS Command Prompt. For example just type alchemy -g pic2001.bmp and it convert to gif file pic2001.gif atomaticly. Ther is about 200 more options then just this.
