Hi,

My personal opinion, if all of your code is currently in PBP and you haven't had any problems, you might as well stay with it. Especially, if you already have a bunch of tried and true routines.
It's not worth the trouble to convert your programs over to Proton.

However, if you're just starting out, I'd recommend PDS.
I've had no problems with either product mind you, but I just like being able to have an open dialog with the creator of the product and having my input count. Also, the free updates are pretty cool too. I just read a thread on this forum where, in order to get his code to work, some guy needed to upgrade from version 2.45 of PBP to version 2.46 for a fix. Fortunately, PDS users don't have to pay for fixes (no flame wars please).

Again, I've personally never had any problems with PBP. All of my programs worked well. I just found development with PDS was a lot smoother and faster. At least that was my experience. By the way, I used to program in assembly using MPLAB, so I've earned the right to go the easy route.



Take care everyone.

Regards,
