No idea on the incomes.. I have all of the
powerbasic products (so I
know they make some income) and not a friend (or enemy) of the
PowerBASIC people. I do more microcontroller and Unix stuff. I think
they (XPB) needs their own group. And on PowerBASIC, I think it is a
better product than VB for the small projects I have done.
I drop in all the BASIC groups to see if I can assist people in a BASIC
area far as Unix and uP/C OR just with BASIC related items. We plugged
our site the first week, a couple weeks ago. It is a Unix (basic to C
translator for Unix people) and an Atmel based (basic to assembler for
Atmel AVR) site. Otherwise, we only plug it in responses to people that
we attempt to help and not in all of the responses as well. If XPB is a
good product they should have there own group for sure.
Either way, I will ignore the post, like the 2 EMAILS from a person that
has sent a couple "wanna debate" EMAILS to me. I responded and went
"why are we out of the newgroups?"
Thanks for keeping it professional. If their product is good I wish
them well, and I think BASIC is a great language. ASM is a pain, C is
OK but I have to look things up far too often.. BASIC is a happy medium.
