I really like gFA basic. The trouble is that there are still a few bugs that I haven't been able to work around. The worst one is that when you open a file, if it has a linefeed at the end, the EOF steps past the end of the file and the LOF acts like EOF (but you still get an error). If I set the error trapping, the machine will lock up next time I run the program. Anyway, I have been burned with TRUE BASIC (they have been selling their program for 3-4 years now and every year they have promised me an update) and now GFA basic has no support in the USA (Antic quit supporting it). I have no idea when and if an update is coming. I don't want to buy Hisoft (third time is a charm?) because GFA was really powerful and fit my needs (the compiler also was really fast and generated small code). Do you have any imput?
