Question!

Page 58 of PBP3 manual state that DEFINE statement and all parameters associated should be always in upper case.

This should be read: " with the exeption of the define statement ", since microcode editor turn the word DEFINE into lower case.

Is the above correct?

MicroCode Studio only changes the case that is viewed in the editor.
The characters saved to the file are exactly as you typed them.

But DEFINE is a PBP statement, and PBP is not case sensitive, so it doesn't matter how you type the actual word DeFiNe.
What comes after DEFINE is passed to the assembler unchanged and MPASM is case sensitive.
Any defines that PBP will be looking for are all UPPERCASE, so anything after DEFINE should be all UPPERCASE.

If you are using defines in your own assembly language code then anything after DEFINE must match the case that your ASM code is looking for. Those do not have to be uppercase, but it makes things easier if you stick with the standard convention of all uppercase.

Just a query regarding deactivation of picbasic pro3, you say you have the ablity to deautherise a computer so you can move your copy of picbasic pro to another. But what happens when the computer has a hardware faliure. How do you deautherise that computer.

Thanks Sphere.

You have multiple installations available.

If it comes to the point where they have all been used, just give melabs a call or drop us an email and we can reset the key.

Thanks for the reply. The only reason I asked was because I had a similar issue with itunes.

[OT] Why on earth are you still using iTune?

I don't anymore for that reason. I can appreciate the reason for software activation but it doesn't stop the software pirates. They just crack it and release it. The only people it annoys are the people who paid for it.
