Wow! 5 months have gone by and not one peep from MELABS!
That must mean they're really working hard on it.
The new PBP must be absolutely amazing!
I kid, I kid.
But, good luck with that.

Yeah you're absolutely right Picnaut... yes at least 5 month. But there's still no new bugs as in the other compiler you use.
I kid, i kid!. good luck yourself too

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

Heh... I just finished a job where I had to use CCS... it was really quite nice, since I know C already. No bugs that I found, but I did have to write my own LCD driver for a 4x20 LCD.
If the new version of PBP was a properly functional language instead of 'baby-code' then I wouldn't ever use anything else. Once you've tasted C syntax, in all it's ugly yet functional glory, it's hard to go back!
I still prefer PBP for smaller projects, but when things get big, it's nice to have modular functions that don't require coding just for the modularity (as in doing macro wrappers all the time).
I sincerely hope that the new version has proper functions, not to mention floating point.

I do believe that Picnaut can't wait to get his hands on a new version of PBP.You see the only reason he hang's aroung here is he can't get any work done because he's waiting for the next bug fix.Picnaut if you don't like it don't use it,I'am sure it's served you well enough in the past.

bbarney,
I'm sorry, but you're not allowed to have an opinion until you've posted on this forum at least 50 times.

If we take away all your post's whinning about PBP it will leave you a little short of 50,so I guess you don't have any opion either.I kid, I kid.
Have a nice day Mr. P

"Picsnaut"? Is that the best you could come up with? I mean, your 47. Surely can come up with a better cheap shot than that. At least spell it "Picsnot".Originally Posted by bbarney
As for my posts, most of my posts are constructive. In regards to my compiler preference, in some of my posts, I've actually told people to stick with PBP because, for their purposes, it was probably the better choice.
As for trouble with PDS, I haven't had any personally. That's not to say it's perfect (neither is PBP), but my code has compiled without problems. I've had large programs that I compiled a year ago, that compile with the new versions just fine and don't give me any grief. I also wrote the original programs much faster than with "another" compiler. I have had problems that, due to all the "crying wolf" that I've seen go on (which I suspect the majority is from people that have used PBP for a long time), I thought MAY be compiler related. However, anything that I encountered turned out to be related to my programming or to hardware.
Now, why do I still post on this forum?
Well, I've already answered this in another thread.
However, often, because you stay subscribed to threads until you die (at least it seems so), my email pops up with a reply to an old thread that I'd forgot about. When a reference is made to me, I usually reply.
I hope this answers all your questions and comments "bbarney".
Keep posting, you're that much closer to 50 posts.
Regards,

Hey Gang,Wow! 5 months have gone by and not one peep from MELABS!
That must mean they're really working hard on it.
The new PBP must be absolutely amazing!
I kid, I kid.
But, good luck with that.
By the way, this post was the result of a private email I received where, someone sent me a link to this thread, and basically told me that the new PBP was just around the corner. I'd did some digging regarding this rumour and, after finding it to be false (once again), I simply posted here (and sent a link to the guy or gal that emailed me in the first place).
I thought my joking tone would elicit some "yeah, yeah, whatever" kind of comments. All in good fun. Apparently some members took it more personally than was intended though.
To them I say, get over it.
To those who've grown tired of the back and forth, I agree.

OK, I dont see how this constant bikering can be contrued as constructive comment.
This type of empty argument has already caused me to waste my valuable time resolving disputes between forum users.
Either keep the comments constructive and related to PBP on this forum, OR loose the facility.
Constructive comment about the progress of product development is fine and acceptable, constructive debate about the merits of one development tool compared to another for a particular job is OK too.
BUT simply snipeing and poking and bikering about nothing much at all is a wast of time, potentially inflamatory and casues the ADMIN of this forum to waste their time reading the garbage thats being spewed from your keyboards, to prevent the forum falling into disrepute. You are lowering the tone of this facility with these petty arguments.
IT MUST STOP, OR I WILL SANCTION THE ADMIN OF THIS FORUM TO MODERATE POSTS. That includes the removal of access rights by those who continually offend.
You want a policeman - you got one now.

Agreed.
It was petty, and I for one apologize for contributing to it.

I apologize for instigating it,it really started as a joke
