   Use of WINFBE for making 32 bit and 64 bit applications

   Being frustrated by the replacement of vb6 paradigm with .Net philosophy,total different from the orher, I looked over 20 years a replacement. For a while, worked with brilliant PowerBasic combined with FireFly, but the lack of 64 bit caused by early and regretable loss of Bob , finished the game. Now, FireFly is replaced by WinFbe,like a phoenix bird again and as language is prefered FreeBasic, a good mature 32/64 bit compiler,strong and with same syntax origin like basic used by Microsoft in good times. The combination is awsome, differences are only estetical in comparation with old VB. Winfbe becomes a redutable tool, with online context suggestions, well done and it deserves a look , as an intersting alternative
