I checked the main site and did a search, but couldn't find out how the demo/trial version of PureBasic differs from the full version. Is there a page listing the differences?

- 800 lines of code limit
- no predefined API functions, constants, interfaces or structures
- executable includes always the debugger-code (larger and slower)

I think this is all

And IIRC, you couldn't create DLLs with the demo version.

Huh, is this true for licensed versions?
Do I have to disable the debugger before I compile?

No, not with the full version.
You can't disable the debugger at all in the demo version.

So, it would be suitable for beginners to learn the language?

Personally, I believe that PureBasic is suitable for the novice to the expert.

Of course you're right, but I think he was refering to the demo version of PureBasic. :wink:

Yes, I meant the demo version. I am thinking of starting a tutorial site and was just wondering if it could also be useful to those who haven't bought a licence yet.

@Fred: did other things change too (source size limit, DLLs, ...)?

No, it's all displayed when you launch the demo.

That sounds great. You can do quite a lot with 800 lines, and although API support is not built-in, it can still be used through the Import or OpenLibrary() functions. Just think of it as PureBasic Express!

Since some users don't like demo software, this might be an idea for Fred to consider.

Re-brand the demo to be PureBasic Express and launch a campaign
that it is now available at no charge.
