This is the best basic compiler by far, creates fast machine code programs and has a high degree of compatability with other basics. Microsoft's pcode compilers can't even come close.

I started out with PowerBasic version 1.0 when Mr. Zale was with Borland steadily progressing where I just updated to PBCC a couple of months ago. Nothing else available even comes close to the robust set of commands and features available in PowerBasic 3.5 or PBCC. For the few hundred dollars it is well worth the investment so quit playing around with Quick Basic and move to the windows environment!

I got a copy of powerbasic several years ago for dos. It is by far the most capable and feature rich version of basic ever produced for dos macines. The newer windows based versions are pretty darn cool also, a strong alternative to visualbasic.
