I just wanted to take the time to write in and say how happy I am with PureBasic. The engine for a program I'm converting from another language to Purebasic was about 1 meg in the other language. The compiled .exe in PureBasic is about 40K !!! In memory using Task Manager, my program engine in the other language used up about 9.5 megs worth of memory. The exact same engine in PureBasic uses about 1 meg worth of memory !!! On a 64meg RAM computer, the version in the other language was slow and a little choppy. The PureBasic version on a 64meg RAM computer is fast and crisp.

Thank you Fantaisie Software for a great product and thanks to all who have helped in this forum, you guys are great.

"Preachin" would be the wrong word to use, more like "heapin" as in "heapin praise" on the creators of PureBasic.

You bad! :evil:
I specifically did not name the other programming language, SO DON'T GO THERE!

You better not tell us, or we might change PB for it
