October Eleventh 2007 From: Bob Zale, President PowerBASIC, Inc. PowerBASIC Gazette #54 ====================== Subject: PowerBASIC Free Updates Today! ======================================= We're very pleased to announce PowerBASIC Console Compiler 4.04, and PowerBASIC 8.04 For Windows! But just wait 'til you hear the whole story... As you may know, previous PowerBASIC Compilers were 16-bit applications which created 32-bit executables. This format was originally chosen by our R&D staff for a variety of reasons, mainly their own convenience. {smile} However, it's time to move forward, and that's just what we've done! 1- The new compilers are now 32-bit applications -- much faster, much greater capacity, and much less susceptible to the whims of the operating system. We've already seen compile speeds over 8 Million Lines per Minute! 2- The new compilers are now 100% compatible with all 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Windows. (Yes, Vista!) 3- The Help Files have been totally reconstructed in HTML Help Format to eliminate newer compatibility issues. 4- You'll find easier to navigate menus, particularly in the new Help System. 5- You know, members of the PowerBASIC FORUMS already saw a preview of this update, and they love it! You can join the forums, too, and be among the first to know next time! 6- There's more... more... more... Just GOTO the Product Announcements section of our forums and download today! So, will this upgrade cost you big bucks? With most software, I imagine it would cost plenty. But not today... This PowerBASIC Update is absolutely free! Absolutely free to all owners of PB/CC 4 and PB/WIN 8! We hope you'll understand it's a small token of our deep appreciation for your loyalty. To minimize the download time, this update is provided in the form of a PowerPACK Patch Installation. Therefore, you'll get a smaller PowerPACK program which can backup your current version, then update your 4.03 or 8.03 code to the current level. It's just that simple! Whenever we offer an update of this sort, you'll see it first in the PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENTS section of the PowerBASIC FORUMS. Visit often! So, grab your serial numbers and head on out for update specifics! Just GOTO www.powerbasic.com - FORUMS, then select PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENTS... Get the updates now, while they're HOT! While you're there? Check out the new forum software. It's amazing! Now with over 265,000 contributions from good PowerBASIC programmers just like you! Every PB question now has a great answer! www.powerbasic.com FORUMS Would you prefer a complete installation CD? That's available, too! For just $15 ($4 s&h), we'll send you a complete PowerBackUp CD for any PowerBASIC product. Software downloads are fast, efficient, and fill your needs today. But nothing beats a CD for secure storage. Just in case you're one of the few... who hasn't yet discovered our visual designer -- or hasn't yet upgraded to the latest compilers -- I have something for you... Stay with me for a minute? PowerBASIC Forms is here now. It works with PowerBASIC 8 to build GUIs almost as fast as you imagine them. Of course, the built-in DDT is good at dialogs, too. But with PowerBASIC Forms, you see what you're designing right this very instant. No trial and error -- no guessing at how big that form should be -- you just click, and there it is, right on your screen. Change the color, adjust the size, choose a style, and watch it happen instantly. With PowerBASIC Forms you'll drag'n'drop controls, form complex menus, automatically build resources from your images and version info. You'll create and name your own favorite styles for later. Even import GUI designs from Visual Basic. You'll like this one a lot... It's virtually all you need in a new RAD tool. For info on this very cool tool, click http://www.powerbasic.com/products/pbforms/ And if you haven't yet upgraded both compilers, you can still take advantage of our upgrade pricing -- upgrade PB/WIN 7 to PowerBASIC 8 for Windows at $99 -- upgrade to PB/CC 4 at $89! Then Drag'n'Drop your dialog designs with PowerBASIC Forms for only $99! PB/CC is our Console Compiler - with a text mode interface to 32-bit Windows (It's the perfect upgrade from PB/DOS!) PowerBASIC 8 For Windows is oriented towards a GUI (that's a graphical user interface), and with the new extensions, you won't believe how easy it is to build GUI applications! More information?
