Programming Languages - A Comparison
------------------------------------

This package consists of the following files:

o  Progr_Langs.guide - the document describing and comparing the programming
                       languages
o  exe_timer         - the tool used to measure the execution times (must be
                       run in the CLI)
o  exe_timer.b       - the source code in ACE Basic
o  cbsi              - a system information tool (must be run in the CLI)
o  cbsi.out          - a sample output of cbsi
o  MemDiff           - calculates the memory usage of a program
o  MemDiff.bb2       - the source code in Blitz Basic 2

The documentation consists mainly of a couple of tables showing the
execution speeds and the lengths of the executable files created by some
programming languages like GNU C++ (egcs) and Blitz Basic 2.

You can also find the main features of those programming languages and
some hints.
