Dont thank me yet... it doesnt seem like i will be able to go according to the plan. We are less than halfway the goal. I am kind of scared to quit my job like this. :(

> As we say here: "Chat échaudé craint l'eau froide"

It is almost identical to the Spanish saying: "Gato escaldado, del agua fría huye".

As we say here: "Chat échaudé craint l'eau froide" (scalded cat fears cold water)
or if you prefer: "once bitten twice shy"

And time will tell who was right  :(

QuoteNah, seriously, I work closely with a friend who also works on PluriBASIC with me, and old PB'er
that acts as a back up for me as i do for him.
probably Elias Montoya ...

When speaking of single man's work, i was speaking of the choice of the core compiler, while i have much respect on Charles work, he is getting old (like myself), thus do you think that somebody else could take on his work, that's the question (Zale's syndrom).

QuoteI would like to make it for SDK mostly.
If you do that, then i will find a way to support you (on Windows) with my own set of tools that have been already converted to 64-bit.
With the Windows version, 64-bit and UNICODE are the best way to go.

Quote from: Patrice Terrier on January 18, 2020, 02:59:03 PMI would avoid to make twice the same error, using a compiler that is based on the work of a single man (Zale's syndrom).

Patrice, PluriBASIC is made in a way that it allows anybody to work on it. For example, I seem to recall there is a bug in one of the DDT statements for DIALOG END hWnd&, but in PluriBASIC, even if i died, you could just open up the library DIALOG_END.bin and edit the statement yourself. It is pretty straightforward and it even allows to enter code for 32bit or 64 bits in the same library.

I plan to open it a bit more, for the moment all the "official" libraries would need to go trough me, but in the future i may implement a way to share libraries. Of course nothing would stop anobody from sharing libraries via email or something at the moment.

Besides, DDT is a secondary priority ATM. I would like to make it for SDK mostly.

> Yes, i contacted Adam Drake, he's a good guy but he is very busy. He kindly granted permission to
promote and sell PluriBASIC in the PowerBASIC forums.

This seems to confirm that he has given up.
