Short:        V2.32b - Update for registered users (from any 2.xx version to 2.32)
Author:       alphasnd@purebasic.com (Fantaisie Software)
Uploader:     alphasnd purebasic com (Frederic Laboureur)
Type:         dev/basic
Version:      2.32b
Architecture: m68k-amigaos
Replace:      PureBasic_Upd2.32.lha

   PureBasic is brand new 'high level' programming langage based on the
   previoulsy etablished B.A.S.I.C rules. It ensure a good compatibility
   with similar basic compiler independement of the computer. The learning
   is easy, as basic has been created for beginner and the development time
   is really fast.

   This software has been developed for the Amiga with the Amiga enviromment
   in mind. We have put lot of effort in its realization to produce fast,
   reliable and system friendly langage. The respect of the OS is always the
   master word, and you couldn't write bad software with the basic commandset
   provided. Of course, you could add any other functions to bash the hardware
   and use all the Amiga power, if you need it.

   The syntax is easy, but the possibities are huge because some 'advanced'
   functions has been added to this langage like pointers, structure,
   procedure, dynamic linked lists, and more.. For the experienced coder,
   there is no problem to access any of the legal OS structures or amiga
   objects.

   Finally, PureBasic support the 680x0 processor and the PowerPC processor.
   The 68000 part has been very optimized to output the best code as possible,
   but we're sure we could do even better ! PowerPC part is under heavy
   optimizations.


   Look yourself at the main features of PureBasic:

     - 68000, 68020+ and PowerPC support
     - Built-in Array, dynamic linked list, complex structure, pointer
       and variable definitions
     - Supported types: Byte (8 bit), Word (16 bits), Long (32) and user
       defined ones (structures)
     - Signed and unsigned support for standard types
     - Built-in strings type
     - Constants, binary and hexadecimal numbers support
     - Very good expression reducer by grouping constants and numeric numbers together
     - Standard arithmetic support with respect of signs priority and parenthesis:
       +, -, /, *, and, or, lsl, asl, lsr, asr
     - Compile about 30 000 lines/min on a 68030/50
     - Procedure support for structured programming with locals and global variables
     - All Standard BASIC keywords: If-Else-EndIf, Repeat-Until ...
     - External libraries support to manipulate easily objects like IFF pictures,
       screens, windows, gadgets, sprites...
     - Inlined ASM
     - Precompiled structures and constants files for extra fast compiling.
     - Cool debugger to stop the program execution and trace the bugs easily.
     - Configurable CLI compiler
     - System friendly, easy to install and always under development
     - And more !
