That information has been repeatedly destroyed, and replaced with obvious misinformation. Pete St.John ( talk) 20:19, 9 March 2008 (UTC) Reply Ģ- Are you saying it's inappropriate to provide compatibility information? At one point, PowerBASIC had a succinct and accurate list of the operating systems supported. You will be more effective improving this article if you do one definite supportable point at a time. It's simply easier to revert a paragraph if the tone is promotional, than to re-edit it for you, picking out the acceptable parts. If you keep to single ammendations of dry fact supported by references we'll all be happy but if you copy in too much of the product's website, or equivalent, people will react as I did. We want the article to be neutral and balanced and not read like an advertisement for a commercial product much of that is merely stylistic. The issue is saying too much, too broadly keeping to dry facts with a neutral tone. I'm not against PowerBasic Borland provided historic alternatives. What we hope is that the hostilities subsume as the promoters of a subject/product, who are often honest fans, come to respect the wiki's standards for NPOV and no-self-promotion and no-advertising.

Why is it that you only destroy PowerBASIC links, and not the others? Why is it done over and over? Reply I'm here, and not everywhere, because of the self-promotion notification.

If so, why is this standard only applied to PowerBASIC? Virtually every vendor of programming languages has a link to their user forums on their Wikipedia page.

It is NOT an assembler of couse, but one can use inline asm to improve programs speed. It produces programs that are REALLY compact and rather fast. 80.140.173.115 00:24, 9 August 2006 (UTC) Reply What can you see as advertising in this material? All characteristics are almost correct! It is a compiled language (not interpreted), its programs don't need external RTL (actually, a very small RTL is packed in any PowerBASIC program, its size depends on used WIN32 API functions and so on, it is not an all-pupose RTL). almost like assembler? i would like to see some serious data before i believe this. This page looks more like an advertisment than a real article.
