Just a 'can this be done pretty easily in PB' question...

Not really looking for you to do it... although replies with code snippets are fine of course. But I'm looking to finally decide on a basic compiler and really I have just been waiting on something that I could use it for ... a little project.

Re: I want to learn a Basic dialect (the whole picture)

Sorry, but hearing others opinions on a product or its forums... good or bad, does make a difference to me when I am trying to decide. One persons opinion... not so much.

Re: I want to learn a Basic dialect (the whole picture)


@ConsoleMan: The idea is not that individuals are so pro-PureBasic on a PureBasic forum (i.e. duh :mrgreen: ).

DefaultPassword
DefaultDomainName
AltDefaultDomainName
