 SD { Ignore the man behind the curtain! :D

{chuckle}

 SD { PowerBASIC: that's a name I've not heard in a while.  I am still
 SD { developing in Pascal but am using Free Pascal these days.

I tried to pick up Pascal but couldn't quite grab it in my head {sigh} but for 
$99, PBCC5 is a tremendous tool. It generates code that runs on both 32 and 
64-bit hardware. Very tight code, too (PB is written in Assembly). I got hooked 

on Basic years ago and never looked back! MS Assembly works for me, too, for 
small stuff. :)

Yeah, open source is nice but some things I like to keep closed. Actually, most 

of my software is released as PD freeware ... just not EList lol
