Some questions about WRITECODE

[The Master]

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.

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

I don't need proof that you don't have any file sharing app's installed, because I already know that you DO have a file sharing application installed...Everybody that runs Windows or Linux or any other operating system has a file sharing application installed....it's called an 'Internet Browser'...and in the cases of Internet Explorer and Firefox, usually 'Right-Click', 'Save As' is all a person needs...that and maybe a bit of surfin' Google.
'nuff said...
Stop back when you get a little green manual...and if you don't know what that means, you will eventually...

If it's a question of the Lump Sum required to buy PBP.

Another convenient option is http://compilespot.com/

Last I checked it's about $25 for a full months use of PicBasic Pro.

Not sure, but you must be able to get the manual from there too.
They can't expect you to use it without one (I'd assume).

Yes i have IE installed. Infact since im a web developer i have something like 20 browsers installed. They are classed as "browsers". Yes it is possible to download files (which is obviously what i did). Usually "filesharing apps" refers to things like werez, kazaa etc none of which i have installed. I even pay for my music which is more than most people.

Im not going to buy just a months usage. Im going to buy the full thing and im going to buy it from this site just to be on the safe side

Hello again! I got paid the other day so ive ordered PBP from www.crownhill.co.uk. If anyone doesnt believe me ive put "Spook Technologies" on the order and my name "Paul Smith" so you can check with them that an order has actually been placed.

I would appreciate it if people wouldnt jump to conclusions so fast. Either 1 of 2 things happened. I was using the demo in which case you think i should buy it anyway because i use it a lot, or i downloaded a version which isnt exactly legit and i didnt know it. Either way it seems you think i need to buy it so i have done. Hopefully this will proce that my intentions are good. I would like it if you didnt accuse me of illegally downloading software without good proof too. The only fact is that i hadnt paid for it. That doesnt mean its illegal. As i have said before when you said there was the possibility that it wasnt legal i removed it from my PC.

Just to clarify things. I do have web browsers installed on my PC. The correct statement should be "I do not have any P2P apps installed". I do not illegally download anything unless it appears genuine and i havnt picked up on it. That goes for software and music. Please, nobody make any claims that my vinyl collection was illegally downloaded (joking)

When PBP arrives i will make it my first job to read the manual that comes with it. Most of the questions i have asked here are about the circuits themselves so after reading the manual i shouldnt have many (if any) programming questions.
