Chris - I think the $99 price is for the PowerBasic version which fully supports W32 DLL's.
I seem to recall the DOS only version was $19 or less - Though when I bought the full development package it was $49 for 2 CDs full of great tools. But that was maybe just before Win XP was released. I still have several solid DOS programs that no one since has put out a better product - so I still keep a good dependable DOS based system on hand. I love my BobCAD v12 for DOS. ( I will admit since BobCad went to windows it has been less than marginal) I can see that trying to port from PowerBasic to a different language would be very difficult, and likely counter productive.
