Some of the VB possibilities have been added to TurboPTR already. I did have a look at TurboPTR in the early days. But the problem for me is I dont get on with Turbo! It wont compile anything Ive written these last ten years without a complete re-design, which is why I gave it up in the first place. I think it is great that you have taken on Turbo development. I download every new version to keep an eye on how things are moving. A lot has been achieved already. Its also the only S*Basic compiler thats going anywhere. By writing TurboPTR you have made possible using Turbo in modern programs and applications. For me personally, Ive had to make a choice and that choice is (at present) QLib/EasyPTR. I very much hope though that there are enough others out there to support you - practially, or at the very least by letting you know that they do! For now, all I can offer is my appreciation. Per
