Looks like the Pb forums are not working....site is still up, but appears to be some sort of a database error. I don't know if Poffs has been updated since Bob's passing, but I would sure like to have a backup of all of the knowledge contained in those forums, just incase the site ever goes completely down..

It's the end of the company and his forums. Back to the C++ compilers

Does anyone have Gary Beene's email address? I had asked if Poffs had been updated and his reply was that Poffs and his own message viewer was fairly up to date. I am not exactly sure where to download what he has available, but would like to have whatever he has for future reference. There is a wealth of good information in those forums.

Thanks,
Gary

I have sent an email to him telling that if he has information he can post it in my forum, if he finds it convenient.

Thanks Jose!

I did find www.garybeene.com and also sent him an email through his contact link. I will post any information that he provides.

A few existing PB forums:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=nl#!forum/comp.lang.basic.powerbasic
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=nl#!forum/alt.lang.powerbasic

Not very much activity there, but they might serve as a 'backup' forum to ask questions.
Last time I checked (a few years ago) there was a lot of ranting and raving going on because a number of forum visitors where people that are/were banned from the official PB forums ... So a lot of frustration was ventilated ...

The PB forum is working again.
