My impression when i was there last time was, that many people 'run away' from Purebasic. How large is the PureBasic Community really at this time? Here is a more complete Listing of the Libraries that are included with PureBasic 5.41 LTS It does have XPRINT but this is not as good, as i see it.

This way i could Print on a PDF Printer as well as on a Laser Printer getting the same results. Having said this, the reason why i chose PureBasic for my current Project is that it has an Vector-Print Library that Prints on any device with a constant size.

I did not yet check if there are actually changes. Means in scientific cases you had to 'Hand code' your Loops. How about Loops, can it make an 'For i.f=0.001 TO 10.09 STEP 0.5' actually?ĭid not try.

Possibly you do not even know the difference to FireFly, Phoenix 2 or even QTAB. Of course if you are used to PureBasic, thats just like you are used to a car XY and you get also used to deal with these shortcomings.

Ok, in my Opinion, Powerbasic still has a lot of advantages in the Compiler and about the Visual Designers.īut Fred and the people there are aware of the shortcomings as i see it. The other Topic was about SpiderBasic mostly. I have splitted and remixed this Topic, because you are making an Comparison with PowerBasic.Īlso this way its easie to read for people. your wife says you have to keep using it.) but you paid good money for that hand-mower. You know, you could go out and buy a new riding lawn-mower. it gets the job done, but you're left dripping wet with sweat. Using PowerBASIC is like using a hand-mower to cut your lawn.

Here's some critical things about PowerBASIC maximum number of source lines: 800 lines (approximate. no development kit for external libraries you can't use the whole external Win32 API support The demo-version of PureBasic is limited as shown below: The 'DEMO' version of PureBasic is available at: PureBasic 5.41 (latest is always available).
