kbasic hasn't really been relevant for a long time now.... They 
claim they'll be 100% syntax compatible with VB6, and that would 
be a selling point for some clients of mine as compared to 
Gambas, and the price is a drop in the bucket.... but once you 
make a Qt development tool that isn't GPL, there are all kinds 
of license traps that come into play, and I'll be curious to see 
how he deals with them.

I would expect that hbasic will try to get a 1.0 release out 
before kbasic starts being sold, and it'd be nice if we could be 
out in front there as well.  I can't say I wish kbasic guy any 
ill will, because 25 bucks would have been a great price if he 
had actually produced this 2 years ago before gambas got off the 
ground, but I'm kind of glad he didn't because then gambas might 
never have taken off.  I like gambas a lot better than VB at 
this point.
