The Idea Tester
Project Home Page
This project is primarily a place to test and demonstrate
ideas for improving
programming methods and environments (in the process, it might become
very
useful software itself, but that isn't its purpose).
Latest news:
SrcFrmt version: 1.02, released June 19, 2007
Includes one bug fix, and it might compile properly with PBWin8 now.

Note: the main (compilable) files for this project, usually have a ".prj" extension.
You therefore might want to change PBEdit's setting to make these recognizable, and
syntax highlightable.
For PBEdit version 7, go to "Window/Options/Compiler/PB Source" and paste in:
".bas|.bi|.inc|.prj" (leave out the quotes)
