VB is nice . Euphoria is nice . But what about XBasic ? Its free and its =
open source . I have a copy of Computer Shopper magazine where they =
wrote an article about a few of the Basic`s made . Here`s the scores :

Verdict
For Windows there is nothing to equal Visual Basic for power and ease of =
use. To make Visual Basic applications go faster or to rescue existing =
Basic programs you sould try using Power Basic . For cross-platform =
development True Basic or XBasic are your best choices. For teaching, =
select True Basic or Liberty Basic .
