Does PureBasic allow displaying images and text and checking for keyboard and mouse input without using DirectX 7 or greater? All of the example programs in the downloadable demo that displayed .jpg or .bmp images relied on DirectX 7, also the mouse example of moving the purebasic logo bitmap around the screen.
