    Thumbs up PBP is no longer a stranger to Microchip

    Hello.

    I've been a PBP user since 2003 (got mine at Rentron back when it was in Colorado). Bought the 2.43; on 2007 got me the new 2.50 (Bruce was kind enough to hold my order and included the new manual).

    The point is this:
    When you wanted to use PBP with MPLAB you had to do lots of things to configure it..... now PBP is supported by MPLAB (it has been for quite some time). Now Microchip direct sells you PBP.

    If Microchip sells it, it should be good.

    PBP is a rock-solid BASIC compiler. I'm not at all surprised Microchip endorses or carries it,
    and PBP has been a tool option in MPLAB for quite a while now.

    MeLabs tech support is 2nd to none, and this user group follows right along with this.
