Hello people,

I'm Edwin Knoppert, programmer.

I'm about to release a general purpose library (Windows 32bit DLL).

I need one person with good Purebasic experiance to convert declarations and do some testing/example converting to PureBasic.

The upcomming week i will have an example ready to work with.
If you help me out, you will get the library for free.

The beta version will have a messagebox.

The original code is already in BASIC notation, just need someone able to make the time for ~2 weeks.
(Spare time of course)

See my site for evt. detail, this is an incomplete site though.

Thank you.

Edwin, Welcome!

Everybody, please welcome Edwinâ€¦ heâ€™s one of the programming geniuses from the PowerBasic forum.

Edwin youâ€™ll find Fred, the genius behind PureBasic, to be a lot more responsive and accommodating thanâ€¦ well. Also the people in this forum are very friendly, helpful and considerably more understanding of newbies, hell, we even have a beginnerâ€™s area here! Not that you need to visit that area!!!

I am glad you chose to pay us a visit, stay awile, we can use your ideas and coding skills. PureBasic is a young language butâ€¦ PowerBasic is going to feel its presence.

Powerâ€™s loss is Puresâ€™s gain!!!!!!!!!!!

Regards,
Marc

Hi Edwin,

glad to see you made it! I got tired of waiting for another 10 years
myself, plus here you can actually speak your mind without getting
massacred...

hello Jack,

Curious, where are you exactly waiting on?

This library is almost finished, matter of a few weeks and i must write an help file.

I came up with a great feature not to be found in it's initial release though.
A (simple) way to make your own visual design environment.
It should be possible to use even VB for that.
I'll have to test that of course.

Jack and others, i have no problem with the PowerBASIC fellas,
PureBasic is also a good tool i guess and i'm just broaden my area.
Sorry if i raise to much expectations.

Thanks,

hi,

i am glad that you have no problems. powerbasic is to stringent and is not portable (by mouth probably for the last 5 years). purebasic is to immature, but fred is working on it. even so it is 20 years old, you should also consider http://home.ix.netcom.com/~stonybrk/index.htm . it has objects (java like) too, it is mature and has probably the best compiler arround (speed, size even inline assembly); and alas - it is portable to many OS'es with just a recompile of the source in a new environment.

regards

That's why I ended up buying it... Good to know you're still at it, can't wait to see the results of your labor. I wasn't waiting on you, just on the PB guys to get in gear and do a OS independent GUI and Language, doesn't seem to happen... PBForms still has all the bugs it had when it came out and rejected it within 2 days of buying it, should have bought PureBasic instead...

Anyway, I am glad you're alive and ticking, good to see you around...

As I know your stuff, we can all expect something excellent, and now with API independency! Cool...

yep franco, - but pricing is not of real concern, if you need something stable, production ready and proven. btw, prices can be negotiated - as can anything.
it is priceless so to have a bug free, fast programs now, where as - unfortunatly - PB is still fighting to get there. its syntax is not that of basic, it is far from being structured and it is buggy (like my english).

did i buy PB - yes. i bet on people like fred.

if http://home.ix.netcom.com/~stonybrk/index.htm is to exansive you may want to try http://www.fim.uni-linz.ac.at/pow/Pow.htm or http://www.citi.qut.edu.au/research/pla ... ascal.html which is cheaper.
