Thanks!

What does PowerBASIC have that warrants spending money on?
Power?


That's very perceptive! Yes, POWER. <g> And Macros, TCP/UDP, Inline
assembler, Bit fields, Extended precision floats, Unsigned integers,
Array Sort/Scan/Insert/Delete/Assign, built-in Profile and Trace,
Thread support with TLS, Regular expressions with search/replace, and
so much more. Oh, yes, and the smallest/fastest executables in the
industry. With no run-time DLL's needed. None.

Deliver a substantial GUI application on a single floppy disk with
room to spare.

You can find all the details at www.powerbasic.com

As to the original question -- PowerBASIC is available direct from
the publisher, as well as from Component Source, Provantage,
Programmer's Paradise, Kirschbaum, QBS Software, Grey Matter, Insight,
and others.
