Printing from purebasic code#

The first days I was lost as a Powerbasic-Fan because the Syntax is quite different.

Purebasic is really a cheap thing, seeing that for the same licence, you never need to pay for Updates and you even get a basic Visual Designer included in the package.įine, so having no choice, I started to take a deeper look. And its still the same licence which i bought 2001. So i updated for the actual Version which is 4.31 and checked - yes there is also a Version of Purebasic 圆4 included in the Package. So this time I had to go through this and learn 'BASIC from New' to be able to make also 圆4 excutables and DLL's. Just never used it really, because I had PowerBasic. So I remembered that I have a Purebasic licence for long time (since ).

Anyway, personally I do not like C and all this stuff, this time I decided to stay with Basic.

I could have choosen for example 'Pele's C' - its freeware and people like it.

if printig is finished, you can add code here for some cleanups etc.Normally I'd not look around and just do everything in Powerbasic.Ĭoming to a project where i need a 圆4 executable and DLL, I had no other choice then to look around.
