See below for more info on this list (including sub/unsub details). __________________________ STAZ SOFTWARE SHIPS FUTUREBASIC 4, Release 4 FutureBASIC 4, Release 4, the fastest, Macintosh BASIC just got twice as fast! November 30, 2006, Bay St. Louis, MS; STAZ Software, Inc. - The FutureBASIC compiler now competes its work in half the time. Speedier compilations are the result of streamlining the compiler's workflow and modernizing the source code. A new group of commands can optionally replace the INDEX$ series of statements. The new CFIndex commands offer increased speed and easier localization with the use of Core Foundation strings instead of Pascal Strings. There is also a new CFIndexSort to automate sorting. Many Bug fixes have been handled in this version, including repairs to the Find/Change routines, modifications to the Edit and Script menus, mouse wheel support for the project window and smoothing out of other minor inconsistencies that displeased some of our full time developers. Work continues on the Intel compiler and the finished product will be mailed to subscribers when finalized. FutureBASIC has a suggested retail price of $169 for individual copies and is sold by subscription that includes a year of free 800# technical support and free upgrades for a year. Renewal price is $99. Updates for FutureBASIC II and I users are $149. Lab packs and site licenses are also available. The software is distributed by STAZ Software, Inc. (800) 348-2623, or on the web: (http://www.stazsoftware.com/) For more than twenty years, FutureBASIC has been empowering a wide range of Mac programmers worldwide to create fast, professional applications. With its speed and power, FutureBASIC 4 is truly a new carbon life form. __________________________ Please visit our sponsors: BetterRAM.com(sm): Your Source for RAM.
