Power Basic Development to Continue

[dmontaine]

As announced on the Power Basic forum - the Power Basic source code has been sold to Drake Software, a 350 person company specializing in software for companies that prepare tax returns.
The only downside so far is that they are discontinuing the availability of free versions of Power Basic.

PowerBASIC Has a New Home

Drake Software has utilized PowerBasic for many years and we are big fans. We are pleased to announce first to this group that we have acquired the PowerBasic source code from PowerBasic, Inc. We have developed software for over 40 years, and we intend to continue updating and improving the functionality for this excellent product into the future. We also recognize the unique community that has grown over the years through this forum, and the contribution many of you have made to the success of the product. We are looking forward to continuing that community.
