I don't know this for a fact, but I heard someone saying that he/she
received some errors in Word97 (or maybe 2k) that demostrated word's
internal reliance on some sort of scripting language, most likely
VBscript. Can anybody confirm this?

Not that this matters much, a C++ program can easily be hundreds of
times slower than a python program if design is bad.
