Are you planning to release a new version of PB/DOS.
When is it expected?
Are you recruting beta testers?
Will it be a minor upgrade like 3.51 or 3.60 or a major release like 4.0?
Could you give some information about its new planned features?

Yes.
When is it expected?
PowerBASIC operates a "no-vaporware" policy that prevents us from disclosing any details of products that are not yeat ready to begin shipping.
Are you recruting beta testers?
Not right at this time.

Please see my comments above.
I'm sorry that we cannot give you any real information, but I can tell you that a major release is expected to be available at some time in the future. PowerBASIC is commited to supporting PB/DOS for the foreseeable future!
I have a few things I would like to see in the next PB/DOS version....
nothing too spectacular, but useful none the less.
Adding the ability to build objects/classes would be nice...
even if it's just adding the ability to link a regular function
to a TYPE's member...so objects can be faked.
EX:
TYPE myClassObject
Data1 AS INTEGER
data2 AS WORD
data3 AS INTERNAL FUNCTION
data4 AS EXTERNAL FUNCTION
END TYPE
Furthermore, I would like to be able to return functions as my
own data type.
EX: DECLARE foo(bar) AS myDataType
FUNCTION foo(bar) AS myDataType
END FUNCTION
Like I said...nothing too fancy, just some things to make it
easier to associate a set of functions and variables.
Right now I use a method like this:
TYPE mouseType
X AS INTEGER
Y AS INTEGER
LeftButton AS BYTE
MiddleButton AS BYTE
RightButton AS BYTE
END TYPE
DIM Mouse as PUBLIC mouseType
SUB MousePop
...Initialize and show mouse...
END SUB
SUB MouseHide
...Hide Mouse Cursor...
END SUB
SUB MouseFill
...fill in MOUSE [see above] with all mouse data...
END SUB
