Very easy to use (if you knew some kind of BASIC before), o.k. still someway incomplete (!beta!), ?slow? depends on what you want to do... best of all: IT WORKS WITH LINUX !! (that's good for me, I like Linux, but I hate its native programing-perversion called C, C++ or what ever, RapidQ is just the thing made for me... try it, you wont be really disappointed!!

I only started programming last month... I can't believe how easy Rapid-Q is! I just can't believe it is free, especially when Visual Basic (standard edition, no extras) is selling for 110. Thanks!

This is soo cool! It's VERY simple to use. I was upset that the only thing that I knew how to make programs on was Learn To Program Basic (LTPB) from shareware. It wouldn't let me make programs as aplications. If I wanted to give a program to a friend, they would have to have LTPB also. This solves all my problems!! Thank you!! I do need a little help, if you could spare it. The instructions seem a little....brief and abreviated. If you could E-Mail me more complete instructions as to using the icons and then turning them into code, please do.

William I'm going to have to hand it to you. You did a bang up job with this amazing compiler. You really shouldn't call it a beta though it is far too good. One last thing, what ever you do KEEP IT FREEWARE, ok?

Great! The form editor that produces code is a little disconcerting, but it's AWESOME nevertheless.

William, you did a great job! You call this a beta version. You're too modest. I've programmed for many years and never seen such a comprehensive, easy to understand and stable product.

Blimey. When I downloaded Rapid-Q I was expecting one of those abstruse, half-finished interpreters with no documentation you find scattered around the net. Never would I have expected such a remarkably powerful and flexible programming language that remains easy to use, fast, and above all, compact. For a beta version, it's more refined than many commercial products out there. Absolutely brilliant!

Now this is an intresting version of basic. Up until recently I was still using Visual basic for dos, I didn't even bother with the horrible Visual Basic for Windows or Windows C++.
One of the great things about RapidQ is that is *isn't* bloatware -- it's one of the few windows programs that'll run straight from a floppy disk. Reminds me of my old Amiga and Hisoft Basic :-)
Very good programming lanuage, and :-) it's free too -- unless I really need to I've all but stopped using vb for dos!!
(Thinks)... Actually I would like to say RapidQ IS VERY good indeed. It beats 10 bells out of Visual basic (urgh!)!
It's intresting, the same "spirit" that I could find in the old Amiga Hisoft Basic V1.05 I find in RapidQ :-)

COOL! It's sooo easy to use! I'm currently working on porting a FLI player to it, and it's going well, except for some problems with streams. I recently got some stuff for writing Win32 programs in assembly language, and I really have fun writing ASM .DLL's to speed up my programs!

If you have absolutely no experience in writing any kind of program and are curious. Try Rapid-Q. It is easy to learn. It's powerful. And it is FREE. You can't lose.

So far I've found few limitations on what I have thought to or tried to do with RapidQ, and most of those have been quickly repaired when I asked the mailing list about them....William is a wonder, and so is his language! ...now, if MS acted like William....Windows might work before its officially released.....

It's a very good language and I would suggest it for beginners, it's a lot more simple than C/C++/VBasic..very nice.

I used to do C/C++ programming, but I was stuck in dumb old DOS. The only thing that I could make in windows using C/C++ was a message box... LOL

Keep up the good work William!
Rapid-Q is COOL!!!

Very powerful language for a beta. With more support on directx and directx3d and both extended and expanded memory support, it could become the language of choice. I used to use Visual Basic, but not now! Why would I use a complicated language when I could use a simpler one that is just as powerful to do what I need. Keep updating it and you will have a winner.
