The PowerBASIC CanaryBay 32-bit has been updated to version 1.08

The behavior of the 32-bit is not the same than the 64-bit, when loading the browser from a fresh boot.
Probably because the 32-bit dependencies are not loaded the same than in native 64-bit.

This could cause the creation of an orphan process when closing the powerBASIC application.
The solution is to make sure that the WV2B process has been terminated before closing the PB application,
using the new ProcessTerminate function.

The new zip is attached to the first post of this thread.
