As of today, the 5.611 Beta is in preparation for final release and is no longer available for download and testing. Thanks to everyone for your help and feedback.

Watch the site for more information and the final release!

Why upgrade, you ask? Here is quick summary of the new features available with the 5.611 Editor:

• FORMS – an entirely new drag and drop graphical method of creating objects and controls (like TrueCtrl) that automatically writes your code.
• CHAIN to any executable program without leaving the editor – even Windows programs like Word and Excel.
• Customize and extend your Help files
• New breakpoint and block commenting features
• Improved window management and drag-and-drop mechanics

Version 5.611 is coming! Buy or upgrade now and receive a free 5.611 upgrade at release time. Now is the time, before prices increase for the first time in almost 6 years.

At long last, Avery Catlin's Let's Program It and the DiscoveryPak are now available to purchase via this site. Check them out on the new Books page.

Both include detailed how-to's and lots of code (in the books and on accompanying CDs).

Happy coding!

Just received some images created in True BASIC by a faithful user, Leo Vroman. Two of my favorites are attached below.

I really enjoy hearing about the variety of ways people are working with TB. If you have an interesting application, shoot us an email!

Beta 5 (version 5.605) of True BASIC 5.6 is now available for download. If you have previously registered for downloads, we encourage all of our beta testers to download the new version.

We are pleased to announce that upgrade versions of True BASIC can now be purchased via our new website. Upgrades are purchased just like a regular copy of True BASIC, except processing of your order may take a little longer while we verify your prior purchase.

There are severe limitations on what can be done with TrueBASIC editor because many of the functions are contained in the interpreter. As a result there are some unsatisfactory aspects of the overall TrueBASIC system that still remain despite the improvements in the new editor. The aim of this release is to address those issues that we can until more permanent fixes can be incorporated directly into the interpreter.

Greetings True BASIC users,

Earlier this month we activated our new e-commerce system. Like the new site itself, it is still new, and we are still working out the bugs while implementing new features, such as instant access to download your ordered product.
