. Has anyone had any experience with a product called Realizer? It purports
to be a Windows application-development tool (system? language?) resembling
Basic in its general appearance and syntax. There's a book out called
something like "Windows Development for BASIC Programmers" that includes a
disk with a limited version of the full package, which is supposedly still
powerful enough to code up some worthwhile apps. I don't have the book in
front of me, so I may not have the exact title. The book with disk sells for
about $30, and if you want the full version, it's another $345 or so.  I just
saw the book and decided to buy it, if only because the claim was too good to
pass up. At the very least, it seems to be a good intro to Windows application
programming in general (very, very general).

  Does anyone know whether Realizer is for real? Or is it a toy?
