Martin,
        You have posted a number of messages asking about PowerBASIC in 
Australia.  I have been using PowerBASIC for 7 or 8 years now, and wouldn't 
swap it for anything else.
        Therre are only two registered dealers in Australia, I'll have to dig 
through my notes and try and find the addressess, I bought my first copy (Ver 
2.01) in Australia, but have bought all subsequent upgrades direct from 
PowerBASIC Inc in USA.
        I can let you have a demo disk of PowerBASIC Ver 3 which will show 
you the power of the language, and would be happy to talk to you at any time 
to give you some idea of the things PB can do, and the things it cannot.
        I'm retired, and you can reach me at (03)-9857-7128 during the day or 
evening.  If I am not available, please leave a message on the answering 
machine, and I will call back.
        I have no financial interest in PowerBASIC, so I won't be tryiong to 
force it down your throat.
        If you lose the number, look under Dial Help in PC Update.
        I haven't had a chance to log onto the Melb PC UG BBS  until a few 
days ago, or I would have replied sooner.
                        regards,  Alan.
