I saw PowerBasic in the store the other day. Is this TurboBasic under a new name? How does it compare to the version put out by Microsoft? I know Pascal and C. Would I be better off getting Turbo C++ or Turbo Pascal? I am looking for a language that is easy to use and play with. The higher level and more library routines to do standard stuff the better. Thanks for the advice. Steve --------------------------------------------------------------- Steven Fernandez esteban@apollo.hp.com Hewlett Packard, Apollo Division

PowerBasic is a Basic compiler developed by MIX software Inc. It is not
the same as Turbo C.

I am a Turbo Pascal programmer myself. I am also learning C. As for which
language to get, it is really your choice. They both have the wonderful
powers of Object Oriented Programming. C is a more interchangable
language, as it can often be compiled on many computers (ANSI C), while
Pascal has a little more structure and special enhancements. I would
choose the language that I know best.
