    Ok, I have read it all.

    Still sounds like a lot of whining to me.
    And a couple people disagreeing with them.

    Doesn't do this, doesn't do that.
    This compilers better, that compilers better.

    They just take all our money and never give us anything, boo-hoo-hoo.
    If only PBP had this one function, I could write a program that would make me Lots of money.
    But that stupid PicBasic compiler doesn't have that, so it's melabs fault that I'm still broke.

    I mean, come-on, I gave them $250, that's like maybe a days pay for many professionals.
    They should give me everything, and write new ones to my request.<hr>
    Possibly a little over-dramatized, but that's what I see.

    My statement still stands.
    With 2.50, melabs just doubled the power of PicBasic Pro, for a meer $25.
    I can't imagine how they even keep the doors open with such little income.

    They are not the lazy one's.

    Don't you mean the power of PicBasicPro just went up by about 2^16?

    Hmmm, well ...

    It does give you a few billion more possibilities.
    But it doesn't feel like it's 65,536 times more powerful.

    I think I'll stick with double.

    I'll buy that...literally...
    I know some of my longer code has really shortened up quite a bit now that I'm able to put more math on one line...with more colons of course.
    At the expense of more code space usage though... I'm still OPTIMIZING my latest proggy back down below 64K to add more functionality. 2100 lines and still going... Another optimization project anyone?

    I've contacted my vendor, and all he could come up with was 20 cases of toilet paper.

    With 64k in 2100 lines, there's just too many colons to "Optimize".

    If I don't have to kill any trees. I'd take a look.
