STAZ SOFTWARE SHIPS FUTUREBASIC 4, Release 4

Written by Carlos Camacho | Thursday, November 30, 2006

STAZ SOFTWARE has released FutureBASIC 4, Release 4—one of the fatest BASICs for the Macintosh. The FutureBASIC compiler now competes its work in half the time. “Speedier compilations are the result of streamlining the compiler’s workflow and modernizing the source code”, said Chris Stasny of STAZ SOFTWARE. Many Bug fixes have been handled in this version, including repairs to the Find/Change routines, modifications to the Edit and Script menus, mouse wheel support for the project window and smoothing out of other minor inconsistencies that displeased some of our full time developers. Chris mentions that work continues on the Intel compiler and the finished product will be mailed to subscribers when finalized. FutureBASIC has a suggested retail price of $169 for individual copies and is sold by subscription that includes a year of free 800# technical support and free upgrades for a year. Renewal price is $99. Updates for FutureBASIC II and I users are $149. Lab packs and site licenses are also available. The software is distributed by STAZ Software, Inc. (800) 348-2623, or on the web.

FutureBASIC 4 comes with its share of great new features and enhancements. The IDE has been totally rewritten for carbon and sports a completely new editor and project manager. All menus and operations have been tightened and streamlined.

A new button bar in the project manager window allows speedy access to simple tasks such as running, checking syntax, and building applications. There are also buttons that run the debugger or profile the application to calculate microseconds spent in each function.

New menu options simplify and extend FutureBASIC 4. A Recent Items menu separately tracks recent projects and recent text files. There is a history menu that follows your editing actions throughout the session. Select any toolbox function and FutureBASIC 4 will look it up on Apple’s web site for you.
