JK> It's funny that you should write this at the exact same time I

RP>Go for it!
JK> My question -- how big is the PB programmer base that an

RP>Then don't write his book - write your own book that covers the

  >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

  He (JK) will have ONE sale, because I will stand in line at Midnight
  for it on the release date!   Keep the price retail in the $19.95
  area and write another when PB3.3 comes out for another $19.95.  If
  JK makes the price $39.95, users will buy only one, but two twenty's
  are easier to purchase  $24.95?????  Maybe so, mebbe not. :-)
