'cool' down a little
you post @ 7:45a.m. & expected an answer within 5 hrs???

to answer in MY 2 cents:
1) lacks a great deal (very small print)

2) on the CD there are some good examples

3) patch 2 is 'suppose' to be out this weekend. but dont hold your breath. i for one woul drather wait until ALL/MOST of teh bugs are fixed

hope this helps

Hey CD On CD

U say "Lacks a great deal (very small print)"

thanks but what do u mean by this? Do u mean that Old darkbasic manual is mile better than Darkbasicpro manual? or Do u mean Darkbasicpro is lack of information in it?

I've found that one command that should have been detailed wasn't there (and had the details of another command). Some of commands have incorrect parameter descriptions and its very terse...

Yes, I really am THAT good...

yes,,,,,to me there is a big lack of information.
they also used very fine print so that they could cram all the 'commands' into a small book.

the USER MANUAL has 47pages
this details the IDE, what DATA statements are, etc.

the REFERENCE MANUAL has 126pages
it details each command in syntax form (no realworld examples)

overall, what you see if you have DBP are most of the HELP files condensed into paper

hope this helps

There are realworld examples if you go into the help files, and click on the example links, so the manuals are pretty much a waste of paper, and less useful than the help files.
