Hi, Fred (and everyone else)
I've just started looking at PB (having got back from hols) and it
looks most impressive.
There are a few things I would really need to get me to buy it.
1. Some sort of automated bb2 to pb conversion aid. I wouldn't
expect it to do everything, but I've got over 400 include files and a
huge mainline so manually converting them to ascii files alone is a
daunting task, let alone basic syntax changes. The sort of thing I'd
like would read the tokenised bb2 source, do basic changes like
changing { to (, adding : to labels and removing a leading period
(.Label to Label:), changing list processing systax, etc and then
saving a .pb source. Maybe an asm guru can modify the FreeBlitz
source to do it.
2. Random access file support (equivalent to the Fields statement
and Get/Put in bb2).
Those are the main things. Other than that I'd love to get it.
Cheers
