Heh, you and I are of the same mind. I'm planning on puchasing a 2nd copy of PB 4.0 final release if everything mentioned before is in :)

is this the 'public pledge' forum thread? :-)

ok, i will buy a another copy of purebasic if it contains three additional things:

- quads (64 bit ints)
- fixed length strings (sorry :-))
- multiple condition case

4.0 fred? ;-) or 3.94 :shock: :lol:

i want strings that are NOT zero terminated (i should say: i want zero terminated strings but i ALSO want fixed length strings :-)) ie. have a fixed length AND can contain zeroes, this would:

1. make it easier to declare fixed string fields in structures
2. allow unicode stuff

Take a small search around the forums concerning PB ... if I remember correctly, Quads will be in 4.0, and all platforms of PB will finally be actually feature complete w/ the windows version :) Thus the only reason I will be buying another PB copy at that time. Finally, there will be a true cross platform compiling and feature complete for PB :)

i don't want everything, just a few things... then after that if i can think of many new necessary :-) features i may (or may not, depending on financial situation, my mood and the position of the stars) even buy another one... winning the lottery would surely help though :-)

Of course there are things that I want.. and would like to see implimented.

But those are not the conditions of me buying another copy.

I think I started here with 3.72 .. not sure any more have to check my
backup logs.
