Youve got me wondering now. Is there a way i can check if its legal or not? I know its possible that the site i got it from could have been advertising it as a free version when it shouldnt have

MmmmmmmmWritecode amongst many other facilities you discuss are not available in the Demo version plus the fact that that you don't know where you got it from is probably enough of an indication that you have a hooky copy.It might even be a demo
Without a licence, you of course cannot obtain a manual.
Does any of this matter,
and why should it clearly upset people who have been trying to help you. Of course it is possible to feign ignorance and plead innocence but the fact remains that it could demonstrate an unwillingness to make a contribution, leeching in another moral sense.
Are you committed to using PBP or are you a deadweight, is it any surprise that when it is discovered that you have not been rowing with a proper oar, that you find yourself overboard.
The conundrum is that you have made yourself highly visible, your business your friends etc
so I suspect that the jury could still be out on this one. you have been posting for nearly two years now, and the vast majority of your questions could have been answered if you owned the manual.
So you are asking people here to read the copies they have purchased and answer the questions you pose, because you have made a deliberate decision not to purchase a licence/manual.
I haven’t looked but i wonder if even the demo version is time limited, however nobody can force you to do the right thing, so I suppose its up to you.
Are you into PBP.............. Somebody might throw you a life jacket,
but for the moment I would conserve your energy as much as possible

DUH! You sure as heck didn't download it from a septic tank...Originally Posted by The Master
And yet again, You have single-handledly performed what I consider impossible. That's twice in a day!

Lol. I downloaded it from a website as aposed to werez etc. I am actually against software piracy so nothing like that is installed on any of my PCs. Im going to buy the software properly and ill buy a disk instead of a download so its completely obvious that its legit

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^
Anybody else buying this?

Thankyou good sirThat's twice in a day!
it must be the influence of the imaginary forum moggy, whose litter I note has mysteriously disappeared

Can i just ask. Why would i need PIC basic pro over normal PIC basic? The prices are about £100 apart and im a little short on cash at the moment. Whats so special about the "pro" part?

PBP have more useful built-in features than PBC. This saves you to do your own SHIFTIN/SHIFTOUT, LCDOUT, more advancaed IF-THEN-ELSE structure etc etc etc.
Better reference at the following link

Oups... never saw Tim's post

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

Right. Looks like i will be needing PBP then. Im not going to be able to afford it yet but i think i can live without it for a while. If im desperate i will download the demo from the site.
skimask: I honestly dont have any filesharing apps installed. I would be happy to prove that in any way you can think of. Proving something like that over the net is difficult though

Ok, there you did it...
Made a reference that I don't understand...
But you are, nonetheless, on a roll...

I had a vision of a very disgruntled (imaginary) cat, not only losing its tray to be temporarily used as a PCB developing tray(my ref), but to then have the contents commandeered by you inside your makepiece particle accelerator

After a brief Google search on the term 'moogy', I now fully understand references made in this thread...I had a vision of a very disgruntled (imaginary) cat, not only losing its tray to be temporarily used as a PCB developing tray(my ref), but to then have the contents commandeered by you inside your makepiece particle accelerator
And I laugh...and continue...
I now have my own vision...of a primate launching high velocity fecal matter...very similar to your 'moogy' and particle accelerator theory.

From the website:
This demo version of PICBASIC PRO™ Compiler supports a limited number of PICmicro® MCUs and is limited to 31 lines of source code (comments and whitespace are not counted). You may use this download to evaluate the compiler before purchasing the full version.
Demo version PICmicro® MCU support:
PIC12F683, 16F627(A), 16F628(A), 16F84(A), 16F688, 16F690, 16F870, 16F871, 16F872, 16F873(A), 16F874(A), 16F876(A), 16F877(A)
PICBASIC
Limited to first 2K code space.
Interrupt handlers must be Assembly language.
Uses Peek and Poke commands to access internal registers and move contents to and from pre-defined variables.
Some built-in commands can only be used on PortB, PortC or GPIO. While all ports may be accessed with Peek and Poke, some aren't available for commands like Serout, Pulsin, etc.
Clock speed pre-defined at 4MHz.
BASIC Stamp I compatible variable names pre-defined.
Most 14-bit core PICmicro® MCUs supported.
PICBASIC PRO
Uses all available code space.
Interrupt handler routines may be either PICBASIC PRO or Assembly.
Internal register names may be used directly, even in calculations and conditional statements.
Software-based commands may be used on any available port/pin. (Commands that utilize a hardware module are limited to the pins dedicated to that module. Some pins have special characteristics that might cause compatibility issues.)
Clock speeds from 3.5975 to 48MHz, depending upon device capabilities.
Define your own custom variables, including arrays of bits, bytes or words.
ALL PICmicro® MCUs are supported, including 12-bit core, 17CXXX, 18CXXX, and 18FXXX.
Additional commands available only in PICBASIC PRO:
LCDOut / LCDIn - for controlling parallel interfaced LCD modules.
HSerin / HSerout - for controlling the hardware USART available on many PICmicro MCUs.
HPWM - for controlling the hardware PWM modules available on many PICmicro MCUs.
Serin2 / Serout2 - RS-232 serial commands capable of sending and receiving ASCII formatted numeric data. Serin2 can be invoked with a timeout parameter to avoid lockup caused by missed serial data.
Select Case - Visual BASIC style case statement.
ReadCode / WriteCode - read and write locations in the code space of self-programming microcontrollers.
OWin / OWout - communicate with One Wire devices.
USBin / USBout - access the USB module on specially equipped microcontrollers.
Xin / Xout - send and receive X-10 commands for household remote control.
ADCin - perform analog-to-digital conversion on devices so equipped.

I dont quite get what half of that means but it appears you are saying this version i have is most likely illegal. Its uninstalled from my PC (will uninstall from my laptop when i get to it) and i will buy a proper copy. Shame i cant remember where i got it from. They should be shut down.
The reason i chose a free version is because i dont use it a lot and when i do its not for anything that i could sell so i looked around for a free version and found this one somewhere

The respectfull suggestion was to conserve energy, probably best not acheived by squirming, as far as I know there has not even been a vote to turn the boat around, furthermore I do not recall anybody shouting "man overboard", so it may be some time.
