Compiler differences

[Jeffrey Ashworth]

A quick question about the different compilers

If I read the docs correctly, the following is true.

DLL IDE Sockets
PB/Win Y Y Y(?)
PB/CC N N Y(?)

Did I read the docs correctly?
If the above is true, is it possible to build a console
DLL (no UI) with the Win version.

Thanks in advance.

The differences:

1- PB/WIN can create DLL's, PB/CC cannot.
2- PB/WIN offers functions to create a GUI, PB/CC offers functions to manage a Console window.

Both offer a complete IDE, debugger, and easy access to TCP/UDP. Everything else is the same.

It's a piece of cake to create a DLL with no user interface. If you want the DLL to write to the Console Window, you'll need to just use Win API functions to do so.

Thanks, Bob. Looks like I'll be ordering a new toy this week.
