- I have done various projects in ZBasic and found it useful in spite
- of its idiosyncrasies, preferring it to QuickBasic. There is no
- contest now: FutureBasic wins hands down. FutureBasic is a complete
- rewrite of the ZBasic product with lots of goodies and access to
- the OS that a programmer will appreciate. I have done further
- development of some of my old ZBasic programs in the FutureBasic
- and have found that the code is now more robust and runs faster.
- Debugging and code structuring possibilities are vastly improved. I
- was thinking of moving to C, but FutureBasic will meet my needs.
