Is modedefs.bas still required for pbp3 ?

[EarlyBird2]

i have included it for shiftin/out and some serial stuff , adding the alisis can be done in the program , but by including it does the same , but if pbp3 has these built in then i can drop the alias lists

From the manual for PBP3

The Mode names (e.g. MSBPRE) are defined in the file MODEDEFS.BAS. To use them, add the line:
Include "modedefs.bas"
to the top of the PICBASIC PRO program.

which tells us that they are not included in PBP3. As Archangel said in #3 use the mode numbers instead of the mode alias to save space.
