PowerBASIC Console Compiler

PowerBASIC Console Compiler creates 32 bit applications that run in the Windows console/command prompt. 

The latest version of PB/CC has a number of great new features:

• Total support for both ANSI and Unicode strings, with automatic conversion
• Simplified resource support — You can add resource data inline, right in your basic source code. No need to create a resource file, compile it, then link it into your source. It’s all done automatically!
• Dead code removal — Unreferenced code will be removed from the compiled program to minimize the executable file size.
• Create client COM applications and COM components using Dispatch, Direct, Automation, or Dual interfaces.
• A complete graphics engine, a printer package for Windows-only printers, dynamic pointers, thread local storage, and more

PB/CC supports INPUT, PRINT, LOCATE, LINE INPUT, INKEY$, INSTAT, CLS, COLOR, KEY, KEY$, and LPRINT. PB/CC also has many more built-in statements for mouse handling, scrolling, and keyboard processing.
