booteable purebasic console apps?
can I create booteable console apps in purebasic or I should go to moonrock instead? and how would I do the boot part? with an autoexec bat or something?

No. All PureBasic apps are Win32-based and can't be called from DOS.
If you try, you'll just get this familiar error message at the DOS prompt:
This program cannot be run in DOS mode.
> should I go to moonrock instead?
That's one nice freeware Basic alternative that works, yes. Don't expect it
to be anywhere as good as PureBasic though, but it can do a lot of things.

Yep, just call the MoonRock *.com file from AutoExec.bat and it'll run. I've
done this in the past with no problems -- that's why it's in the FAQ.

I compile using 5.31 (x86) on Win 7 Ultimate (64-bit).
