Henrik, with all due respect whilst your comment wasn't directed at anyone in particular, I have to disagree with your comment regarding 2.60.

Like Richard I too am using 2.60c, with an older version of MPLAB. It works for me with the chips I like working with, and as I only code for fun and to make my own projects as a hobby can't always justify the cost of upgrading to the latest version.

Personally, whilst I prefer PBP style of structure I'm more inclined to learn MikroBasic Pro given that it's a one off cost, stacks of library files and free upgrades for the life of the product. Especially as this forum is missing some of the key members, and there are just a couple of people like yourself that are still around to help others with PBP coding issues when we are stumped.

Regarding your comment about 10 years from now, my guess is that it won't be compatibility issues between whatever flavour of OS microsoft is shipping and MPLAB, as Microchip are constantly updating their software to match the PICs they manufacture. It will be whether PBP is still around and has caught up to support the functionality of these PICs directly without the need for 3rd party library files from people like DT.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking PBP just for the sake of it. Just that in my opinion it's now being left behind its competitors
