2.50 manual is available
Being warned via this forum that PBP 2.50 was a fairly major change I ordered the CD-ROM with new handbook. The pair arrived so it is available. I have yet to find the major changes except to note that a compile with PBPL takes much more codespace than the same code compiled with BPBW.
A great pity is that there are no examples of what can be done with LONG variables and errors or shortcomings still remain with some commands.
The new manual is a small cost and was worth it to replace my dog eared and coffee stained manual from several revisions ago.
The MELABS web site and the manual fail any reasonable test for 'traceability'. There are no meaningful revision numbers shown in the manuals, or on the web site. There are no statements about what version is supported by the manual.
I imagine the PBP staff are reluctant to put the latest manual up on the web as it would only encourage ripoff copies of the program and the manual.
