QUICK ACCESS What is FB^3? What does the "^3" mean? Where can I get FB^3? Is there a demo available? Where can I get the FB^3 manuals? Are there any other books on FB^3? Will FB^3 be available in localised versions at release? Where can I get support for FB^3? Is foreign-language FB^3 support only available to European residents? The FutureBasic-Europe FB^3 FAQs are compiled and maintained by [:-j] from the EuroFB team. Please send all comments, suggestions, corrections directly to him. You may also wish to consult the FB^3 programming FAQs. |
What is FB^3? Well it's not your grandma's BASIC! FutureBASIC II was already a neat, fast, compiled, structured BASIC that could stand up with pride in the face of C or Pascal, not only as far as speed, compactness but also as a great programming tool for getting the job done fast. |

What does the "^3" mean?
The first version of FutureBASIC - this is the correct spelling BTW - was just that, no number or anything. Previously it had been known as ZBasic, but the name was changed when Staz Software took over the product. |

Where can I get FB^3?
Until the end of December 1999, FB^3 is available on a private subscription basis to members of the FBII mailing list for US $99. This subscription will expire at the end of the year 2000. It should include at least one update of the CD. |

Is there a demo available? Yes. Download the US demo version from Staz Software web site. French and Italian demo versions can be downloaded from here at the euro.futurebasic web site. |

Are there any other books on FB^3? L. Frank Turovich's books "Learning FutureBASIC" volumes I & II are still available from his web site, or from Staz Software in paper, and from futurebasic.org in Acrobat/PDF format. But these are mainly concerned with FBII. Currently there are no books specifically concerned with FB^3 but different members of the FB community are discussing the question and if there developments, we'll let you know here. |

Will FB^3 be available in localised versions at release?
The French version has been announced as being available at the same time as the first official release. The Japanese distributor should have a localised version ready too. Staz's objective is that one CD can be distributed world-wide with all the localised versions on it. This would also allow programmers to more easily create localised versions of their apps! |

Where can I get support for FB^3?
Your FB^3 subscription will cover unlimited tech support while your subscription is valid. URLs and telephone numbers will be communicated when you subscribe. |

Is foreign-language FB^3 support only available to European residents? No way. We call it FutureBasic-Europe because we are all based here, but once we get lists and web resources together in French, German and Italian, anyone speaking those languages, wherever they live in the world, is free to participate and consult the web pages. |
