Actually, I guess I should qualify that. Many Basic programmers who
left for C because of the lack of pointers and other features are now
coming back to {Power}Basic because of our continued update of the
product to include features previously only available in C.
Now that pointers are available, I have shelved my C books and compiler
at home. They are no longer necessary. Between pointers, optional
parameters and the built-in assembler everything I need is there in
PowerBASIC.
