Yes, Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 is a RAD (Rapid Application Development) tool that offers the flexibility of compiling applications to p-code or native code. Compiling to p-code optimizes for the smallest size. This small size will often make p-code the choice for creating Internet applications in low bandwidth situations. Native code compilation is highly optimized for speed (up to 20 times faster) but the executables produced are larger. Visual Basic 6.0 is the only RAD tool to support both rapid application development through p-code, as well as native code compiling for performance.
