Create applications that run in the Console (the “DOS box”) under Windows. It’s as straightforward as programming for DOS, yet gets you beyond those DOS limitations. Finally you CAN use gigabytes and gigaabytes of memory (yes HUGE arrays) – because this is a 32-bit compiler! Nearly six times faster than the best DOS Basic around! The high degree of source code compatibility with PowerBASIC, QuickBasic, GW-BASIC and BASICA makes it easy to port existing DOS applications.
The Console is a text mode interface connected right to the heart of 32-bit Windows. It looks and acts just like a text mode DOS program, but it’s actually a True 32-bit Windows application! With a console application, there’s no fluff, no animated puppets, just intense computing power. Port existing Basic code from DOS to Windows today! Access a flat memory model that’s practically unlimited. Boost performance with true 32-bit code. Launch multiple concurrent threads. Use the CPU and numeric coprocessor directly with Inline Assembler. Choose Register Variables for your most critical code. With PB/CC, size and performance are the prime factors.
