800 + 300 internal commands = 1100 ?
maybe they haven't gotten around to updating the page yet, with being pretty busy with releasing a new version and all ?

Seems to me either 1100, 1300, or 1376 are all 800+
To hell with the home page, keep those functions coming
Great work PB team.
cheers

1300+ sells better than 800+
Wikipedia wrote:PureBasic has an extensive set of over 800 commands and direct access to many OS API calls.
Who is able to change the text? I´m not registered.

There are 1167 according to the method used to count them here:
http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=35703
> the PureBasic home page definitely mentions only 800+ 'internal commands'
The PureBasic web site is notoriously out of date, as many threads here show.
Besides, 800+ means any number over 800, so it's technically correct.
> potential users will be misled about the true power of PureBasic
Um, no. If you buy a language expecting to get 800 commands, and then find
out that it really has 1167, why would that be a disappointment in any way?
Would they contact Fred and say they want an older version instead because
they only paid for 800 commands?

Lol, do you think i made up those numbers ? They are what the compiler reports for each version. The webpage text is just outdated. The 800+ number is from version 4.00
@gnozal:
Keep in mind that this counts installed userlibraries as well. The count for a plain 4.30 installation is 1144 functions. (that does not count any "internal" functions btw)
Time for some levity methinks!

What do you call a function that doesn't function? Dis-FUNCTIONal??

Nice graph, but euh... 99% of all statistics are false, the rest are made up...
Wat worries me most is... is there someone who maintains a similar graph for bug reports?

Yes, sorry, I didn't want to delete / reinstall all libs. I should have mentioned it.
And I assume it only lists the functions available in the current subsystem(s).
