Re: [Freedos-user] FreeBASIC status?

I see it is back up now. I had been doing some reading on the pros/cons of FreeBASIC vs QB64. Not looking to start a flame war here, but I had decided to invest some time with FreeBASIC when the site went down. I thought perhaps that was an early portent that I had picked the "wrong" compiler.

[Freedos-user] FreeBASIC status?

Does anyone know the state of FreeBASIC? The site (http://freebasic.net) has been down for at least 2 days now. Has the project been shuttered? Thanks, Abe -- Attend Shape: An AT Tech Expo July 15-16. Meet us at AT Park
