Thanks for the interview!

(Note to the readers: questions will always be on grey fields, the answers of Frédéric you will find on white fields.)

But your missing the grey fields

Thanks for the nice response.

(It was really a huge amount of work to create the questions - with the ideas from german forum. Then Frederic must answer all of them, and since yesterday I've spent my time to create english and german html versions.)

Oops, nvm. My eyes took some time to accustom to the light grey fields

My apologies!

One of the things that got me was Question #34's (When does Cross-Platform Compiling finally come, for which we wait so much?) answer:

The IDE and the Debugger is already cross platform. For 100% (perfect) cross platform support, I don't know, there is always a little things missing. But it should be better and better as the hardest has been done for now.

This was under the general future of PureBasic. Im glad that they finally got cross-platform compiling working for version 4.0. Unfortunately, I read that wrong the first time, and thought it existed in the current 3.94/win CE ..

Comiler|Compiler Options -> Executable Format (Windows|Console|Shared DLL).

Cant wait until it shows up for Linux and MacOSX .. man, now Im excited for the release of PB/win 4.0 by the end of the year.. whoo hoo!
