Please excuse the intrusion.
I've been following this issue for a while and I find it incredible that
three words "real soon now" and the interpretations of these words can
result in this sort of behavior. I have posted here before about my one
time desire to try the PowerBASIC products but had settled on another
product. For a viable alternative you might consider PureBasic. It's my
language of choice for right now. Small and really tight executables,
Linux
and MAC versions, GUI designer, console progs and DLLs. Inline ASM, and a
library compiler rounds out the offerings. It really is a lot of
development tool for the money. The PureBasic commmunity is very
knowlegeable and very helpful, and AFAIK no one has been axed from the
forums. PureBasic has been around since 1998 and has a strong following.
Nothing is forever but it looks to remain for a while. Please don't
misunderstand, I'm not dissing PowerBASIC or the products thereof, the
reputation of these products speaks for itself, I am however advocating
PureBasic as a worthy alternative.
