<p>Hello, and welcome to <b><i>Absolute Power++</i></b>! This site is dedicated to bringing you <i>all</i> the information and resources you could possibly want which relate
to Powersoft Power++ (formerly titled Optima++). Here you will
find <b>code</b>, <b>sample programs</b>, <b>components</b>, and even <b>tutorials</b>.
<p>To those of you who are still not sure why you are here, Power++
is a RAD (Rapid Application Development) environment for Windows.
It is in many ways similar to Visual Basic (though it has many
more great features such as Drag 'n Drop programming), except
that instead of using Basic as its language, it uses <b>C++</b>. In fact, the compiler used in Power++ is the award-winning <b>Watcom C++ compiler</b>.
<p>I would think it very kind of you to make a link to this site
from your own, but I would ask you to make the link to this page
(<b>http://www.neatech.ch/powerpp/</b>) rather than one of this site's sub-pages in order to maintain
frame integrity and URL consistency. <b>I thank you for your time and understanding</b>.
<p>Please feel free to browse through any or all of the following
pages which are part of <b><i>Absolute Power++</i></b>, or take a look at the <a href="whatnew.html" target="power">What's New</a> page to see what has been added to the site recently.
