Originally intended as a clone and competitor of MS-Visual Basic running under MS-Windows 95 or NT. The project was abandoned in 1996 and the the software is in the public domain without support. It includes a tutorial but is a ' bit much ' for a beginner trying to learn computer programming. For advanced programming it supports polymorphism, objectinheritance, encapsulation, ODBC, OLE2, and MAPI.Considering its absolutely free without any conditions makes it a good buy.
