    My guess is that it's not generating enough revenue to warrant new refinements.

    All those neat clips of code from DT and Mr_E lately could surely be integrated into PBP '2.5'. And if Proton+ and Mikro can have more functionality (albiet a bit buggier from what I hear...haven't tried them, don't know), why not PBP?

    I can agree there, with all the piracy that goes on these days. It would rock if the compiler was open source...sorta like Linux...every week, a new 'core' for PBP.
    I'm starting to need 32 and even a few signed 64 bit numbers these days. I've written a few include files to handle the math, a bit clumsy but it works. According to the manual, the Mikro compiler handles 32 bit natively and does decent floats, but again, from what I read, it's a bit buggy.

    Time for an upgrade!
    (and I feel another student question coming on...)

    i have to agree there's place for new stuff and improvements. But it really do what's listed on their website... not much, not less, mature and stable. Just no more new bells and whistle.

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

    Hi, Steve

    Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...

    IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
    certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!
