I activated this echo a few days ago hoping to learn more about PowerBasic, 
but I haven't seen any messages yet.
I have looked over the shareware FirstBasic briefly.  PowerBasic looks like 
it has a lot of potential, being supported unlike that MickeySoft compiler 
for DOS.  One thing I did notice was that the size of the generated 
executables was larger than I would have thought after all the hype I have 
heard about PowerBasic from those preaching its virtues in the QUIK_BAS echo.
Are there stub libraries that could be linked from the command line compiler 
in the full product to help reduce the .EXE overhead?
