Hello Dave!
I agree, COMMAND$ in the IDE under a OS/2 DOS session wouldn't even be
considered an inconvenience since it works once the program is compiled and
is a easy work around while in the IDE.
The next major release, will it have the OS/2 compiler in it? If not can you
give us an update as to the progress of PowerBASIC for OS/2. I couldn't be
happier with the performance of WARP, the best platform I have ever used and
soon to be even better. The next release due in the second or third quarter
of this year will have a lot of people excited. VB was the shot in the arm
that launched Windose. PowerBASIC could be the shot in the arm that launches
OS/2. It's the small guy like myself that will make or break OS/2, not the
big boys...
Thanks, Ahead WARP 3!
