heheheheh..... powerbasic forum cracks me up
#18
When i last used PB (it was PB3.5 for DOS and it was four years ago, it may have changed)
-It could not enter graphics mode 13h so everything had to be done using poke or assembler.
-Constant did not exist, it had only a strange %eqv for (hex?) integer constants.
-DIM SHARED had to be changed to SHARED DIM or something like this...

And other niceties the horrible IDE (more or less the IDE of QB 4.0) did'nt made easy.

The good side was OPTION EXPLICIT, pointers, bit rotation instructions, and the amazing speed.

Then you had TWO windows products ,PBCC for console programs, and a DLL making version. Weird...
