This was not an attack of Turbo, just my experience. With older versions you need to 
carefully look to all parameters passed to PROCs because behavior is not the same as 
SBasic. And I think Linker+ QD+Sbasic thing+Qlib is still a very good developpment 
tool thanks to good work of Wolgang and Jochen.
But I understand Turbo is up todate and is intended to be new standard for compiled 
Sbasic

That is not true. You do not need to adapt any code apart from what you 
would normally do with any compiler. You cannot use SAVE and LOAD etc but 
you cannot do that in QLiberator anyway. As for Turbo directives like 
IMPLICIT etc. these are optional. There's nothing that says that you HAVE 
to use them.

That's not really an advantage, compared to the speed, superior math 
libraries and availability of Turbo.

Turbo updates come in days once a feature is requested or a bug spotted. 
When I first encountered the BLOCK high-colour bug (Turbo would not assign 
GD2 colour values to blocks) it took George about half a day to fix it. 
Since Q-Liberator is not being developed any more (based on what you said 
as I do not know anything about it, only used it once at a friend's QL; 
never liked it anyway :-) I think that the choice is obvious.
