Ask RealBasic's vendor to provide an Obj-C/BASIC bridge?
Keep in mind, that the screen saver process will create a window
that covers the screen, containing an instance of your
ScreenSaverView subclass. Even if you invoke a separate RB
process, you'll need to make it appear above the normal screen
saver window level. You CAN NOT make RB draw within an NSView.
If you learn enough about Cocoa to make such a hack work, you won't
want to write a screen saver in RB anymore.

Yeah, i know, it sounds crazy. My main motivating factor is cross-
platform compatablity -- working on Mac OS 9, OS X, Win32, and
Linux. Easy (somewhat) to do if I can have a unified code base in RB.
Strangely, in terms of screensavers, Mac OS X is the odd-man-out
here. The others can handle screensavers as a normal application.
OS X requires a language-specific code resource.
