It is completely free and it is suitable for creating all kinds of applications for business, industry, education and entertainment. Just BASIC borrows many features from our popular commercial product Liberty BASIC. We have worked hard to make Just BASIC as simple as possible and at the same time give you a useful and powerful Windows programming tool Because Just BASIC is based on the classic BASIC programming language it is easy to learn, and it has been extended with structured programming facilities and with easy to use GUI commands. Create your own Windows programs without needing to learn the underlying details of the Windows operating system! http://www.justbasic.com/

Not technically freeware? I don't know. -- ------------------------------------------ Jeffrey Needle jeff.needle(a)gmail.com

An english-speaking group is here: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/rapidq/ "Activity within 7 days: 11 New Members - 22 New Messages - 3 New Files" It is very active and the group has a lot of files and hundreds, if not thousands of example programs in RapidQ Basic. If you can download a big file, 18 MB, you can get all files you need and hundreds of free example programs here: http://www.airsys.org/news.php Look in the right side column, last link, RapidQ 2: http://www.airsys.org/downloads.php?cat_id=2&download_id=3 That is the most complete collection of RapidQ development tools and example programs available as a single file. That is a good start to begin with :-) A copy of the jfe editor is included and no doubt syntax highlighting is arranged for that editor in its ini file. If you search for RapidQ on the web you will see conflicting statements, like "RapidQ is dead, has not been updated since.., use Realbasic (payware) instead." And lots of links to very active sites with new library files, updated help files, active user groups, etc.. The truth behind this situation is that the man who bought the later versions of rapidq, called realbasic, is irritated over the continuing success of the freeware version, which is also freely distributable, and has tried to shut down some sites, with limited success. He could only shut down the sites originally put up by the author of rapidq, who now works for him. But RapidQ Basic attracts more and more people, and the language is continously updated through the use of external library files, in spite of the fact that the compiler itself cannot be updated, because it is not open source. There are many different development tools, visual elements editors, menu editors and program editors for rapidq, and language files, syntax highlighter files, for many text editors. I had tried for some time to learn visual basic, but could not understand the language. Then I found RapidQ and it was a lot easier to understand, easy to read and use. It has visual elements like visual basic but is more logical and clean in its syntax. The most important factor for a beginner when choosing a program language is the availability of free example programs which you can compile and use freely, and rewrite and change to your own liking. That is the easiest way to learn to write programs. Find a similar program to the program you want to create, check out how it is built up, change things until you are happy with the result.
