TwinBasic

[Niya]

Another thing I wanted to point about about TwinBASIC. I'm really loving the fact that the compiler can produce Windows executables with zero dependencies, an advantage it has over VB6 and .Net. .Net can't do it as far as I know(except when compiling for Linux) and VB6 does it very poorly(OCX errors, always having trouble finding DLLs etc). Although I will always veer towards using Visual Studio and .Net for any serious work, I could see myself using TwinBASIC to write very small and easy to deploy utility applications. I tend write a lot of little utilities in .Net, both for personal use and help wit h our work. And while I've never had serious problems with them, there is always that slight risk that something might be broken on somebody's computer and it would not run. Bare bones binaries coded against the Win32 API almost never fail to run on any Windows system. It would be nice if you guys could preserve this ability in future versions of TwinBASIC.
