I doubt if anyone else other than me reads this newsgroup,
but if anyone does, be be aware that it is at risk of
being removed for low activity:

Note: This list excludes all moderated groups, and unmoderated
groups that have been removed since the data was collected.

The following is a list of unmoderated newsgroups that have had a low
volume of traffic for significant periods of time. All groups fell
below a 150 article threshold in 2004 or earlier, and have remained
below that threshold ever since.

The groups listed have received less than 100 non-cross-posted
messages in the 12-month period March 2005 to February 2006.

There are 590 groups listed. By hierarchy: comp, 338; humanities, 0;
misc, 39; news, 7; rec, 112; sci, 41; soc, 51; and talk, 2.

Newsgroups are organized by related groups or sub-hierarchies.


There are 81 comp.sys.* groups, 27 are groups for which there are not
other groups for the particular hardware system,

I know the above is a joke, but it does represent a serious
risk. the PowerBASIC web-boards are a single point of failure.
If PowerBASIC goes belly up or becomes too sucessful and gets
bought out, they could disapear. If someone had a ligitimate
complaint about PoweBASIC inc. it could be censored. Right now
the web-boards are great and there is nothing to complain about
concerning the product or the company, but if things did go bad,
it would be nice to have an uncensorable place to discuss it.

Any ideas for more activity? ,-)

How about a gateway that grabs web-board posts and posts
copies here? The gateway would, of course, be best written
in PowerBASIC... :)

My biggest problem is that there is really nothing for me
to say about PowerBASIC. I use PB/CC and it just works.

You know, I used to complain a lot, both in public fora and directly to
PowerBASIC Inc (whenever an individual employee of PowerBASIC Inc needed to
be named).

Over the past couple of years, however, PowerBASIC Inc has really cleaned up
their act and I have found almost no cases for complaints.

About 95% of the specific gripes over the years were one thing: the
unprofessional demeanor of the official support personnel. However, the
current support crew is about as prompt, courteous and professional as any
software publisher's. The only thing holding me back from making a generic
'ringing positive endorsement' of the CS group is that which Shakespeare
noted in his "Julius Ceasar:" "The evil men do lives after them; the good
is oft interred with the bones." That is, some of the incidents of the past
were that unpleasant that I am simply unable to "get over it" at this time.

Today I only have only two complaints, and both are manageable from my end.

First, and truly minor, is that upgrades and updates are quite infrequent;
however, we have to offset that with the realization that we pay no annual
maintenance fee, so what can one really expect?

Second, and of somewhat more concern, is "sloppy beta testing," something I
had not seen from PowerBASIC Inc until maybe five years ago. Ever wonder why
there was a 7.01, 7.02, 7.03, 7.04, 8.01, 8.02, and 8.03? I don't, it was
substandard beta testing of 7.0 and 8.0. And they still have some problems
with backward compatibility, but
that was reduced a lot in the 8x series of releases (compared to the 7x
series).

But this I've handled by not upgrading immediately to anything, especially
anything-dot-zero. In the Real World, updating my compiler software every
couple of weeks with a patch release is not an option (I retest everything),
so I'd rather wait a little longer knowing a maintenance release is not
going to be required

Sure, I have sent in lots of really outstanding, well-thought out and
generally excellent new feature suggestions which have yet to see the light
of day in spite of their "obvious" greatness; then again, it's not my money
which has to fund the development. (cf zero annual maintenance).

Sure, the documentation is still mediocre (note that "mediocre" means
"unexceptional, for good or for ill") but so is everyone else's.

All in all I'm pretty satisfied with the product and the company behind it.

Lastly: if there are complaints about something, you don't think the
"Blog-O-Sphere" would be overflowing with uncensored comments?

I think, that was the big idea of Bob, for a change from
news.powerbasic.com to a Web-Forum a lot of years ago.
There was a lot of critism to the first editor of PB/DLL. :-(

I hope this newsgroup could do the job in the next time, too.

Both PB/CC & PB/WIN compilers doesn't work on my current WinXP
machine (32bit, SP2, all patches and new drivers). Seems to be a
problem with the old internal 16bit compiler and the Core Duo
architecture...

What did PowerBASIC support (***@powerbasic.com) suggest you try?

(Frankly, if those compilers do not work on your Win/32 system, I think you
are in a really really good position to invoke your warranty protection.)

The problem is "not known". I've checked a lot the problem with the
older PB/CC compilers and PB/CC 1.0/2.0 works great. So it seems to
be a problem with the beginning of the PB/CC 3.0 & PB/CC 7.0 series
(the compiler itselfs creates faulty NTFS directory entries of the
log and exe files).

Starting with the KB927891 bugfix, it's possible to use the current
compilers from time to time without problems, mhhh.

That's not an option with my offical key. Will see, what the german
distributor says ... ,-)

Sorry, the mail- and newsreader "CrossPoint" was more written for the
german speaking area and the PBNews client in the first versions, too.

The current version of PBNEWS is running in server-mode. The local
NNTP-Database of some PowerBASIC related webboards on a seperate
newsserver is more powerful for other services, like a search-engine,
RSS-Feeds and of course -> support for every NNTP client. Hope it
helps:
