16f877a

[Bruce]

Support for the 877A was added back in version 2.42. If you can't find 16F877A.BAS in your
PBP directory, then you should re-install, or contact the distributor you purchased PBP from.
They should be able to help you if there are missing device header files on your original PBP
install disc.

PBPW is not the assembler. It's the Windows version of the compiler EXE. In MPLAB, with PBP
setup as the language tool, you have the option of selecting PM or MPASMWIN as the
assembler.

But you will need to get familiar with MPLAB if you're compiling PBP programs using this IDE.

Assuming you have installed PBP correctly (as shown in your PBP manual), you have the path
setup, and PBP setup properly within MPLAB, you should not have any problems getting it to
compile in MPLAB.

What i only see in my pbp directory is the pbpw.exe file could be a problem with
the installing disc. Its a disc i get from a friend who did not need it any more
and for me it was a good to see if it was better to program in picbasic
but without that 16f877a.bas file i cant do nothing and buying again that program
without knowing it will work is to expensive, is the 16f877a.bas the only file im missing then?

Thanks very much
Dirk

No. You will need a great deal more than just pbpw.exe and a .bas header file.

That's what is so nice about actually purchasing legal copies. You get full support, and a
compiler that actually works.

I gues it is a legal, but there is something wrong with the disc i guess,
thats probaply why he give it to me but the only thing is nnow that i catnt
test it

Thanks very much

If you can't get the files you need from your friend so you have the full working version, you
can still test drive the compiler. Just download the demo. It supports the 877A.

but i dont see any 877a.bas files.

The demo version is a bit different, and does not install the same files. Run it, and try it.
