NS Basic/CE 2.0 now shipping!

5/20/99 NS Basic/CE 2.0 is now shipping. Major enhancements are a Visual Designer to make design of forms easier than ever and support for Palm-sized PC's.

The new Visual Designer tool makes it much easier to lay out and modify your forms. Plus, the version for Palm-size PCs is truly useful and a blast to use. It's easily the most powerful programming environment available for such a small computer.
