I wish its true !!

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.

Mr E
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".



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,

I just had a tour of the "other site" and I can honestly say I'am glad your there more than here.you have almost 300 post's there 2/3 of which you complain about somebody ele's code doesnt work or you don't like the background colour or the compiler has a bug and the other third your blowing your own whistle about how great a programmer you are, or your just being arrogrant like this.

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

thank god youv'e only got 97 post's here that works out too 1/3 less BS here and for that I thank you
Like it or not that's my OPINION.

And my opinion is that there is a fine line that's being crossed leading to abusive posts... regardless what side of the fence you're on in this debate... keep it nice or it'll get killed. This time around I've edited it... Melanie

Wow!
Someone's cranky.
You must have missed your nap today.

By the way, if I do "complain" (as you call it) on the PDS forum, it's because I actually have a say in the development of an "evolving" product.

I never heard of you until today bbarney.

You basically introduced yourself my taking a shot at me personally instead of posting an argument regarding the subject of the thread.

What does this say about you?

When you first join a thread, maybe you should start by "having a point" Barney, then back it up with facts (I'd even take pseudo-facts at this point).

Then, if I'm rude to you, feel free to voice your displeasure.
Don't start by being rude, especially if we've never had any dialog on the forum before.

That's just bad manners.
