PB/Win was originally named '''PowerBASIC DLL Compiler''' ('''PB/DLL'''), which reflected its original purpose: writing DLLs for Windows, both 16-bit and 32-bit.

PowerBASIC for Windows is an implementation of PowerBASIC.
Other implementations of PowerBASIC.
PowerBASIC for Windows (a.k.a. PB/Win) is the Windows compiler for PowerBASIC. This is the version that is meant to deal with windows, and there is an add-on (called PowerBASIC Forms) that can make this task easier.
It's important to note that there are some fairly major language differences between the DOS and Windows versions of PowerBASIC.
