However, with the acquisition of some CNC machinery (which I have still to set up!) I find myself in need of some dedicated CAD/CAM software and none of the off the shelf packages really suit our requirements (or our pockets!)Hence, I have finally found an excuse to discard the dunce hat, dust off the old coding hat and reacquainting myself with Purebasic. Been hammering away now for about a week using any spare time I can find and... the old bug has returned and sunk it's teeth right in!
PB was always fun, but it has come on quite a lot in the time I have been away from coding. Got to say I love the new dialog and vector libraries in particular. The dialog lib is very easy to get to grips with and really makes life easier. Very nice indeed! The best part, is that I now find little reason to delve into the Win API and that is such a bonus. I can stick almost exclusively to native PB commands and functions and that is fantastic. Get so much more done with a fraction of the effort.
A few more things added to the printer lib and I'd be in hog's heaven! (Wink wink nudge nudge say no more!
)Anyhow, thanks Fred/Timo for your continuing efforts in producing what is such a great programming language.
Right, back to work.
