I'm getting DBPro v.soon!
Should have it running either Monday or Tuesday. Could someone tell me what differences there are between DBC and DBP?

Heres one difference to start you off: One ends with "Pro" and one ends with "classic"

Your damaged cells are replaced by the mitosis of others. But sometimes when they split they change a little... until there are too many mistakes and you die.

DBPro is DBC's big brother...

* it makes use of more DX features
* is faster
* supports more data types
* supports boned animation
* has lovely memory block features that let you hack your models and images for effects like mesh deforming
* has an awesome IDE by GuyS (RGT/DarkEdit fame)
* has sphere mapping and other effects that are incredibly easy to use

Yep, DBPro is a far cry from DB, this little list is only scraping the surface.

* TPC Plugins - Users can write plugins for DBP and you can use them just like DBP commands.

Do you want Windows menus in your DBP apps? - Get my plugin: http://snow.prohosting.com/~clone99/downloads/tpc_menus_102.zip

that would probably be even more funny if the names weren't
DarkBASIC - DarkBASIC Enhanced - DarkBASIC Professional

it's stupid referring to both Standard & Enhanced as Classic as there as big a difference between them as there is between Enhanced & Professional.
The most major difference you'll notice is probably speed as it has changed from an Interpreter language (like Java) to a Compiler language (like C++) ... the inclusion of stuff like new Operators & Memory Operations as well as the Type Structures make it alot ore versitile to use off the bat, and the TPF DLL Functions are a nice touch as they're compiled at runtime to speed up thier interaction - but essentially the actual differences between the languages are minimal
