Unless I'm mistaken, Power Basic is basically (sic) Borland's Turbo Basic,
being taken over by the original author (then a Borland employee) who formed
his own company to market PB.  I bought TB from Borland a few years ago
and have been using it regularly.  It's fast, the resulting images are
appropriately sized, and you can have as many INCLUDE files as you want,
as opposed to QB where you are limited to the number of INCLUDE files and
need to put callable routines in a library.  (TB has no library).

Unfortunately, the last time I called Borland for support, they told me
that they no longer support TB, call the PB folks.  I called PB, and they
offer *no* upgrade policy for purchasers of the original TB; full price
just like everyone else.  That left a bad enough taste in my mouth where
I bought QB and am looking at VB and PDS.

I've been happy with TB for what that's worth.  According to the
advertising, the only thing worthwhile that PB has which TB doesn't have
is support for "far strings", if you need that capability.
