I saw PowerBasic in the store the other day. Is this TurboBasic under a new
name? How does it compare to the version put out by Microsoft?  I know
Pascal and
C. Would I be better off getting Turbo C++ or Turbo Pascal?  I am
looking for a language 
that is easy to use and play with. The higher level and more library
routines to do standard
stuff the better.


			Thanks for the advice.
