Yes, I do the same.
Plus I have another one taken from PB forum (do not remember who to thanks, sorry):

But can you call this: debugging?

Ok, then we are back to where I was with Purebasic some time ago.
Its good and cheap for unimportant tasks.
But when I need somethign of highest reliability I will ned to go back to ... PB.

How did Jose say it last time .."Its not that easy to built a reliable compiler" (or in that sense) :-).

Hoping that Bob will keep his head (see comment from Jose before) even when the next version of PB comes, which I expect to be more complicated internally then all versions before.
