What is KBasic?
KBasic is a powerful programming language, which is simply
intuitive and fast easy to learn and above all already familiarly, represents
KBasic developed for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows a further bridge between
Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. KBasic a new programming language, a further basic
dialect, is related to Visual Basic 6 and Java.
More exactly said KBasic is an object-oriented and event-controlled programming
language, developed by KBasic Software (www.kbasic.com), is particularly
designed for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. KBasic is a multiplatform programming
language, so almost the entire API is the same on all platforms and window
systems.
KBasic is a easy-usable, object-oriented, interpreted, stable,
platform-independent, fast and modern programming language.
KBasic is supported on the following platforms:
- Windows 2000 and XP
- Linux
- Mac OS X (>= 10.2)

 How to purchase the KBasic Professional
Edition?
There are some ideas to get money to survive. Some have "Donate"
buttons on some of the sites, but they are mostly skipped over by the users. If
even 1% of the users actually donated, it would help considerably towards
server, power, and bandwidth costs.
One trend I've noticed as more and more Open Source/Free Software projects flow
into the mainstream public, is that the general public assumes that if they can
download it for free, everything associated with that project must be free,
including providing hosting, updates, mailing lists, and documentation and of
course software development, which is the big part. They don't seem to realize
that time costs money. Servers cost money. Living costs money.
I believe I have worked hard over the last years on KBasic and it is not just
another text editor. It's something big, really big. So please do not forget if
anything, Free Software is anything but "free" in terms of cost, because we
(the developers) bear the burden of costs, so the users can have something
useful to use, for "Free". I tried and I tried very hard to get some help from
other people to get things started, so though there have been about 100 email
contacts from people offering help, but in the end it happend that I had to do
all on my own. Most of them just disappeared after asking for comments or
assigning tasks without notice or were not able or willing to do special tasks.
So I changed my mind and I hope you appreciate my way of doing good software
for Linux and Mac OS X to bring it on top, especially in the Desktop market.

Bernd Noetscher

Please read this, if you will not buy KBasic
Professional Edition
KBasic needs your help! And the best way to help KBasic (and to
help Linux and Mac OS X to become an alternative to Windows) is to buy and use
the KBasic Professional Edition. With your help and financial support, it will
be possible to continue the development of KBasic for many years.
You can help Linux and Mac OS X, when you help KBasic, because KBasic is an
important piece of the puzzle showing the needed software for leaving Windows
far behind. With your support it will be possible to show the world that BASIC
development software do not have to be limited and difficult.
It is up to you!
Best Regards,
Bernd Noetscher
What about KBasic's future? What if it will
not be continued...?
We have absolutely no intention of doing that. In this case, we
make this promise: We will puplish all KBasic source codes (C++ header files
are already open source) and makes them available. This will be the Free
Edition, which is intented for the development of Free and Open Source software
only. It is provided free of charge under the terms of an open source license.
Then the linux community has the chance to keep KBasic alive, extend and
maintain it.
License limits question
Q: I have a Mac and will be the only one using your package. My
question is how many copies of your package would I need? I have a G5
tower that I use most of the time and a Lap top that is only used when I
am way from the G5. Some packages agreement is written so that only
one copy is required as long as only one copy is in use at a time.
Other companies would require two copies be purchased even though only
one will be in use at any time.
A: You only need one license. If you would like to use it on your G5 or laptop
you need only one license.
