- About PBASMLIB's Author
- -----------------------
-
- Hello - I'm Tim Gerchmez, author of PBASMLIB. I'm 29 yrs old, and I
- live and work out of my home in Renton WA, a medium size town 15-20 miles
- southeast of Seattle and about 20 miles south of Redmond, WA (home of
- Microsoft Corp). I've been programming extensively in BASIC (several
- dialects) and assembly language (6502 and 80x86) since 1984. I published
- 5 or 6 articles/programs for the Commodore 64 computer in national computer
- magazines in the mid 80's, and migrated to the PC a few years ago. All of
- my programming knowledge is self taught - I have no computer related
- degrees. My current shareware offerings include Menusys, a text-mode GUI
- for PowerBASIC and QuickBASIC 4.5, the PB version of which was included on
- the PB3C install disk, as well as several other BASIC language utilities.
-
- PBASMLIB V1.0 was developed on a Packard-Bell 386SX-20 and completed and
- tested on a 486 DX2-66 clone. It's most ambitious project to date, and one
- that I hope will help fulfill my goals, among which are:
-
- * To bring true programming power to BASIC programmers everywhere, at a
- level previously enjoyed only by users of "more powerful" languages like
- Pascal and C ;
-
- * To offer a high quality toolbox to the programming population at an
- affordable price ;
-
- * To help extend the viability of the DOS standard by tapping previously
- untapped potentials of the operating system, and ;
-
- * To know that others are using and enjoying my programs, and that I've
- made a meaningful contribution to the programming community.
-
- I think that PBASMLIB helps fulfill many of these goals, and I hope you
- will too. If you like and use it regularly, please help support the
- program by registering it. Remember, this is only the beginning; with
- your support, many new versions and improvements to PBASMLIB will be in
- the works. Join with me in my dream of carrying the BASIC language to
- new heights of usability. Together, it can be done!
