Picbasic Pro compiler 2.60 error

Alain, we need it don't we?

If you think any way of mking updates less painful, do tell us.

When Darrel wakes I am sure he would give an idea on this.

After all I bet he has the most modified PBP directory!

Maybe instead of using the word "patch" I should have said "band-aid solution"

the patch I was referring to would be in my files, not the compiler files. ie a

write 0,0

at the end of the program that never gets called.

For us ... patch refuses to apply if files have been modified, so we get a brand new full installation !!!

Oh hello, I'm awake now. 10PM

Actually, for each patch or version level, I create another whole installation from the CD, then apply the patch.
That way I can test for people's problems related to the specific version/patches.

Talk about a mess ...
I've got 9 PBP folders. Each one with different levels of modification.
I'm constantly commenting out config lines in .inc files.

I guess, for anyone that only wants one installation, the procedure is the same. (Patch a clean installation)
Just delete the old installation when you're finished. NOT

But some day ... you'll want something that was in that folder.
Some day will be 3-days after you delete it.

How do you proceed not to loose or forget the mods each time a new upgrade comes ???

I don't. I figure it out again when something doesn't work.
Cause it may be for a different reason now.
