Stephane and Steve

For sometime you have been asking Powerbasic to include a few hundred (or thousand!) new features
in the next version. OOP, Properties, Methods, Classes, Events, GUI, Drag and Drop, Forms, etc.
just like they have it in DELPHI and Visual Basic.

All very good ideas.

But here is a better idea:

Microsoft and Borland are bigger than Powerbasic and have more money and lots of developers.
They already have everything we want (GUI, Properties, Methods….). If we ask them to make their
compiler better than PB so it can make faster and smaller EXE then it is easier for them to do it
because they do not have to add thousands of new features. All they have to do is to make one
thing better, the compiler.

If the two of you go to Borland and Microsoft forums and ask for a better compiler and give everyone
here the address of those forums then we will all come over and support both of you in those forums.
When we get to Borland or Microsoft forums, we must keep repeating our wish list and not leave until
they give us a compiler better than PB!

You mean, stay there for the rest of our lives?

People, please ease up a bit. While these constant whishes for PB to
become Delphi is becoming a bit boring to see, everyone must have their
full rights to post their whishes. Simply ignore what you don't like.

Steven,

Why do you posting QuickBasic sources ???????
I very hate QuickBasic , I love PowerBasic and Borland
I'm right for a better graphical user interface with components, forms, units
that okay

Greetings,
Stephane

Yes I agree.

Post the same wish once or twice. Maybe three times. No more.

Perhaps Powerbasic should introduce a new rule regarding repeat postings.
The forum is rapidly loosing its value as a useful tool. It is now more like
a religious discussion group. Next thing we will be arguing about how many
angels would fit on the head of a pin.

Single-precision angels or double-precision angels?
