Tipically the software companies are supporting their clients, not clients the company. I know that I could have 32 bit vars in round-way, but why should I do the Melabs' job.
When I asked Crownhill for 24 bit sighned integers and floats, on the next day, Les said - OK. Where are Melabs, where is the feedback. I don't need 18F8680 and 18F8720 support (actually PBP even does not use the advantages of the 16-bit core PICs). I need a 32 bit signed math and I have no time to search the web for the routines and do tricks. Melabs must do that, because I pay them.
