Go for it!

I would imagine quite large by now. Check with Carmel and get
their advice and what help they can give you. It is to their
advantage. The help hawk third party installers, libraries and
packages of all kinds and types. No reason they shouldn't help
you but _don't_ expect a marketing survey and study as you
probably won't get it.
JK> I loved Ethan Winer's QuickBASIC book,

JK> PB flavor would be redundant.
Then don't write his book - write your own book that covers the
features and benefits of PowerBasic. Best Idea: Now that PB has
pointers, get a good book on 'C++' and translate it to
PowerBasic. Go into great detail about writing TSRs in PB. So
many have problems with this feature. Include lotsa functions and
procedures with multiple working examples.
