There are only two negative points: the use of 'Gadget' and sometimes a function changes name or is completely removed, like ReceiveNetworkString().
But there is no date in this review, and no version number, could be version 2.95.

The date the webserver returns for this file is Sat, 11 may 2002 13:46:55 GMT, so he tested 3.00 or 3.10
A lot of functions where removed in those versions...

Me also to had to get used to 'gadget' but this takes only couple of weeks

Regards,

Berikco

Toonski: Great! So what future plans do you have for Purebasic?

FrÂ¨Â¦dÂ¨Â¦ric: More commands, 3D support and a MacOS version.

Oh 3D support!!!!! which 3D api base on? OpenGL or DirectX?

The VPlanet interview was quite interesting. However, the AllBasicCode "review" was quite poor. Really, no offence to whoever wrote it, but a single side of A4 which makes points about minor things (naming of commands) and does not actually investigate the capabilities or purposes of the languages is not a review.

Has there been a review of PB in the mainstream press in any country?

Exactly right. The so-called "reviewer" is an inexperienced fool.
