   There is a shareware version of Power Basic called
   FirstBasic. The last version of QuickBasic is 7.1, which is
   the PDS, (Professional Development System), package, or the
   QuickBasic 4.5, which is more common. PowerBasic, last I
   heard, was in version 3.5, and selling for $149. The latest
   version supports virtual arrays, which use expansion memory
   up to 16M. You can find them at http://www.powerbasic.com/
   Their shareware FirstBasic compiler should also be available
   there for free downloading.
   BTW... is Fane your REAL name?? :)
