subject: Turbo vs Power Basic

Hi Carol,
CP->I've been using Turbo Basic for years, but the disks got
CP->lost in my
CP->cross country move, and my hard drive got gunked up as well.
CP->Is it still possible to find TB anywhere?
Yes, I've still got it, version 1.1 thst is...
CP->How similar is PB to TB?
Ever compaired an Stone age neaderthal man with an modern man ?
That's about the diverance between Turbo- and PowerBASIC!
PowerBASIC is the continuing development of (former) TurboBASIC.
PowerBASIC has more funktions and procedures you could ever dream of.
From version 3 you can make TSR's (terminate and stay resident)!
Even in 5 lines of scource you can do it.
try that with TurboBASIC.... Nah. doesn't work...
CP->Also, I haven't seen PB in the CP->stores...has *IT* been discontinued as 
well? NO WAY!
Januari 1995 the newest release (3.1) was available in Holland, so...
It's outthere someware...
