How fast does SheerPower 4GL compile code?

A. It depends on the speed of your computer system, but version 5 of SheerPower can compile code at more than 200,000 lines of code per second: Q. I am currently using a JK Microsystems 386 type SBC for a particular project and require that programs developed in BASIC be compiled to .exe files for downloading to the SBC’s. Can similar programs developed in the Sheer Power environment be converted to .exe files for downloading? If so, how? A. Currently, the SheerPower 4GL compiler generates P-code. The P-code is then executed by the SheerPower runtime virtual machine. Also, the SheerPower 4GL virtual machine is currently only available for the Windows Environment. Just like Sun’s JAVA language, SheerPower 4GL can only run if the virtual machine is available. We do have plans to make the virtual machine available on other platforms in the future. Probably LINUX will be next.
