After adopting PowerBasic as the main language I use to write utility type of software, both GUI and command line, I decided to see how well it works from a flash drive. I use three Powerbasic products and a PB aware editor:

Total size on my USB drive is 30 MB. They are licensed so that you can use them on as many computers as you want as long as you can only use them on one at a time. By having them installed to my USB drive that insures that is true.

I find them very easy to use. Quick to launch, compile, debug, and run and I have them with me all the time. PowerBASIC makes small fast EXE’s with no runtime required. When an install is required I create one with Inno Setup.
