Well last time I asked, there was a discount for owners of TB! That was
only a few months ago. In fact, as a registered user of Turbo BASIC, you

Actually there are a number of other enhancemants. One of the simplest,
yet most important (to me!) is that there's a command line compiler! So
I can call PBC from a make file.
