Nice! But why Gambas2 and not 3?

Well, we don't immediately salute your genius, Benoit :-) But Gambas since
2.9 (or something around that) was used at Markgraf-Albrecht-Gymnasium
(grammar school) Osterburg. It superseded Delphi since 2009.

Actually this year, we had Gambas3 trunk (yes, I went up and packaged it
from time to time) running on the students' computers. I got to give some
lessons to this year's 11th class (and my own 12th of course). Sadly, they
didn't care much about the class. I wish some of them would have been
Indians :-)

However, they were 2 * 15 bug hunters and at least I remember there was a
single one found...

The bad news is that now I've graduated, they can't maintain the Linux
server and intranet anymore, so next year Gambas will be gone from
Osterburg...
