Hi Ingvar,

I think what Rad is referring to is that, if enough microcontroller products become available with floating point math, especially PIC based products, it will generate greater demand for that feature in all PIC or PIC based products.

Although the product he's referring to is apparently a Basic Stamp, it may possibly draw away some customers, whether current or potential, from PIC products that don't support floating point math. In theory, this will drive MicroEngineering Labs to also implement floating point math into their compiler.

So, although you, Rad, and I are not going to be using a Basic Stamp anytime soon, the emergence of floating point math in a Basic Stamp should affect us in a positive way.

Now, if the makers of PBP can implement floating point math and functions that can be passed variables we'll have it made!!!
