Hello Darrel,Originally Posted by Darrel Taylor
That was similar to what I had in mind. With permission, I'd put a copy of ALLDIGITAL in the installation folder and when the "All Ports Digital" checkbox was checked it would add
include "[PBPHW Install directory]\alldigital.pbp"
Of course I could also just parse the stuff myself but that's extra work...8^)
Best Regards,

I will say having the include lines for "alldigital" and "instants" would be OK. But leave the actual files upto the user to get from Darrel's site. That way the Wizard will not have to worry about upgrades. Maybe have comments added to the header with the URL to Darrel's repository if they are used???

Another question. Do we need the dependency on PBP files? I ask this because I don't know how many machines I am allowed to install PBP on (I assume 1). I use at least 2 daily, 1 at work and 1 at home. So I can't run your wizard at work cuz PBP is installed at home.
Now you may be asking yourself, Why do you need to create a header without PBP installed? Heres my reason, I often find time to work on stuff at work in small bits. So I may start a new project at work and tote it back and forth on a USB drive. Testing will be done at home, but I can still work on chunks of code at work. Make sense?

Not at the moment. I'd like to do it all using just the standard MPASM inc files.
I assume 2. 8^) I never use them at the same time. I did explicitly purchase a 2nd copy of MCS as a tacit "thank you" for making a few special/oddball bootloader files for me.I ask this because I don't know how many machines I am allowed to install PBP on (I assume 1).
FWIW I purchased the Proton compiler, 100% legitimately, a few years ago (I was lusting after the floating point). Almost immediately afterwards they instituted the dongle protection scheme. Other issues aside, I received a message that if I didn't upgrade (for more money) to the dongle system I would be listed as a "pirate" on their board. I've never used Proton again, embraced PBP with all my heart (sorry I strayed!), and learned the joy that is integer math.
Oh dear, I'm getting off on a tangent... MELabs license... Okay...
From the MELabs web site:
The way I understand this is that as long as *I* am the one using it on one computer at a time (which is all I do) I am in compliance. It's similar to uninstalling the software from my work computer at the end of the day and installing it at home in the evening. I really don't think this is even a gray area, but I am not a lawyer (thank goodness!). If someone official (e.g. from MELabs) told me my interpretation was wrong I would reconsider.In consideration of Licensee's payment of the license fee, which is part of the price Licensee paid for this product, and Licensee's agreement to abide by the terms and conditions on this page, the Company grants Licensee a nonexclusive right to use and display the copy of the enclosed software on a single computer at a single location.
Yay tangents!
Best Regards,
Paul

I will assume as you have regarding the use on 2 machines by just 1 person. ACAD used to be this way, 10 years ago. In fact they spelled it out as "Install on as many machines as you want, but ONLY 1 seat may be used at a time"
Yea PBP!!! BAD Proton

I messed up. The correct file is below, and I'll try to institute better file control...

No, we are working from Microchip files.Do we need the dependency on PBP files

No worries. Can I lie to the wizard and just create a PBP dir or is it also looking for any file? If it is, can i lie to it about the file and just create a blank file named happywizard.whatever?

I think so. You don't even need to point to a file, just a folder that exists. I just tried it pointing to "c:\" and it worked fine.

Its my thinking, when the wizard is doing what we want it to do, the "all digital" will be tended to by default. If all the user wants is digital, the other stuff won't be turned on and the reg's will be set to use all dig. On the other hand, if the user checks all dig, but then configures the A/D, wizard will have to handle the error or the program won't work as expected. Of course, it could be set so if all dig is selected, all other options are grayed.
have I lost my mind? again?
