ThinBasic on ReactOS 3.6-REL

[jcfuller]

I just installed ThinBasic on ReactOS 3.6-REL running as a VirtualBox guest hosted on
Ubuntu 8.04. I fired up ThinAir and ran one script which ran successfully.
You will have problems with your help files I assume as there is no chm support yet
(I did not try). Might give you something to play with while you are waiting on PBWin9.
This last release is pretty stable although I've encountered numerous BSD. It seems to
be progressing nicely.

Released from my NDA I also tried the new PB compilers with moderate success. The ide's
are quite flaky ( when trying to compile) although the editor seems usable. The compilers
worked with one exception that I ran into so far. PBWin fails with an error
when attempting to create the tlb file after compiling a COM server. I tested a couple of the
other demos I posted which compiled and ran fine. I did all my compiling from the command
line.

For VirtualBox I used a default fixed size HD with Win 2000 as the selected OS and a rather
large 96 video mem (had a number of problems using the default of 8) and 256 mem.

Thanks for your test results and experimenting. It is neat how you can do so many cool things these days with Virtual Machines.
