Yah, I know the upgrade is only $25, and if needs be I'll end up getting it. I only use PBP from time to time, if it were a full time effort then I'd deff upgrade when new releases come out. However have found if I change lines like:
__CONFIG _CONFIG1H, _OSCS_OFF_1H & _XT_OSC_1H

in my INC files to

CONFIG _CONFIG1H, _OSCS_OFF_1H & _XT_OSC_1H

As it was sortof telling me in the errors then those particular errors disappear which is good - however these errors are now superceeded by others which is not so good.

Error[176] : CONFIG Directive error: (missing "=" in parameter "_CONFIG1H")

So I suppose I've been making progress but I've now tried to place a = sign in the config1h line copying the inc file from MPASM but no joy - any ideas?

Thanks
