I'm reffering to the fact that delphi compiles
native code and therefor is faster and the support
for opengl and directx dd glide hopefully will work better
on delphi than it does on vb.. anyway.., I don't know that
much about Delphi (Tried it a couple of times) so I'll
try to keep my mouth shut.. On this one..!

-JODE

ps. Handling pictures isn't what I call graphics programming!
