In addition to the ones listed on os2site.com, CA-Realizer was a basic interpreter and development package released for OS/2 and Windows, but it is hard to find. You might find one on ebay.

I don't know about PowerBASIC, but there's always TrueBASIC, and you can still buy it.

https://www.truebasic.com/products/p/true-basic-for-os2

The demo version is on Hobbes: https://hobbesarchive.com/?dir=%2F&stype=all&sort=type_name&search=truebasic&submit=Search

 Trying to finish rounding out some installs on the new laptop,
     https://trac.netlabs.org  - from two different isp's and locations, getting: This site can not be reached.

https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/trac.netlabs.org?proto=https say's it's not just me.

Seems a hard drive died, to quote Adrian,

It looks like one of the disks is gone for good (raidz1 so 2 out of 3 should be fine), zfs snapshot integrity is fine according to the reports but it refuses to do anything that writes so that's why we are blocked at the moment.

I will need to send some data around before I can try again, just to be sure that I don't screw up anything productive.

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 ...

If,  powerbasic doesn't exist, what is my best bet for a basic compiler for os/2?

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
