Computer Design Lab announces the availability of OmniBasic
version 1.27. This release includes a number of new features
including SELECT/CASE, CONTINUE, RANDOMIZE, and comprehensive
XForms support for the Linux version. In addition to its
unrivaled portability, OmniBasic has shown itself to be the
one to beat in recent benchmark tests for speed and efficiency.
There are also many changes which accomodate the QB/PB style
syntax making conversion much easier. The shareware versions
are available for download from:

OmniBasic is a structured dialect of Basic which includes such
features as true pointers, based variables, macros, C compatability
at the function as well as the linker levels, and a host of
other advanced features. Like many C compilers, but unlike
other Basic compilers, OmniBasic was written in itself. This
is to say that the source code for OmniBasic... is OmniBasic.
