Hello

I can not access Netlabs trac too. Are you looking for something specific? maybe it is also on HobbesArchive.com.

You'll want to look around for various IBM, Microsoft, and 3rd-party "basic" compilers/interpreters/etc ... if you search this forum, you'll find links where folks talk about some of these, like:

https://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php/topic,1446.0.html  (reply 23 looks interesting)

And then, various google searches for OS/2 dev tools and apps, such as:

https://www.os2site.com/sw/dev/basic/index.html

Note that many of these are for older versions of OS/2, so who knows how they'll run under ArcaOS or whatever OS/2 you've got running. Perhaps BASIC programmers who also use ArcaOS will chime in, and give their input on the best thing to run these days, on a "modern" ArcaOS.

Hope this helps ...

Hi Remy,

I don't know if this intentional or not but on your system "WPPngCache" class is not registered.
But it is easy enough to register via XWP by specifying "WPPngCache" as the class name and "C:\SYS\DLL\PNGDESK.DLL" as the SOM DLL containing the class.

Or had you backlevelled to 2.5.2.2 while you where dumping the class list ?

Yes, I took the class list dump after having backleveled to 2.5.2.2

I usually start with Wikipedia ... many folks (humans) verify Wikipedia ... but, for the most part, you are on your own to verify the content of any AI tools (and you most likely might head to Wikipedia to start that process).

Wikipedia has TurboBasic/PowerBasic page(s). Nowhere in the history of TurboBasic/PowerBasic/Borland, as relayed in Wikipedia, was there an OS/2 version.

Also, nothing on archive.org ... a second place to investigate. If ever there was a version, it usually makes its way here.

Finally, the forum might be a place for further inquiry:
  forum.powerbasic.com/

Borland had a few OS/2 products, but I can't find that PowerBasic (or TurboBasic) was one of them.

Hope this helps ...

Hi Dan

Was there an OS/2 version? V3.5 for DOS seems to be available here  https://winworldpc.com/product/powerbasic/3x

Grok said it was a thing, and I did a bit of Turbo and Power Basic programming in the day.

Does anyone know where I can get a copy.

Thanks in Advance.

Setup & Installation / Re: BonusPak installation, fail.

Last post on this subject:

IBMWorks,
  Instructions are correct, with the following caveats:

   use cmd.exe, not 4os.
 
  Unzip bonuspak.zip in the root directory of whatever drive you are using.
   This will give you files AND create the directory pathing that you need.

  On the OS/2 Warp Version 4 (Code Name: Merlin) - verify you have a file called us.dic - if your system is set to English (US), or uk.dic if English (UK). These files are in: X:\OS2IMAGE\FI\BONUSPAK\IBMWORKS

   ISO on the web are labeled ISO English, without regards of UK or US English.
