Planning a PB Revival Compiler .... in 32-bit.

[Stan Duraham]

Why not 64bit? I doubt any new user would be interested in 32bit. Those interested in PB 32bit probably already have it, and they're dwindling.
If you do a 64bit, even close to PB, please hurry up.

We will soon get a 64-bit Compiler from Jürgen, and my CX 64 is slowly advancing.

So you are looking for an 64-Bit Compiler?
Jürgens Compiler is already for Testing out there.

This one ist mostly for me, also because i need it to compile my own code.

The rules are:
1. it must not be slower then Powerbasic also in Compiling. At least same speed.
And that is hard because PB is very optimized.

2. It must be 100% Compatible and add some features. Especially those that were planned and never done completely.

3. And i will change the PREFIX Command. Make it less complicated.

4. I also want the AutoDim-Feature to work. It was partly implemented in PB but crashed the program on exit.

So this is my plan for the start. It will still take some weeks i think. But - we will see.
I already have a lot together and ... it assembles. Its done in Assembler 100%.
It depends on how much KI i have leftover for sidecars (that do never earn money).
