I installed the newest version of GCBasic (and copied again the last version of preprocess.awk) ; it created 2 shortcuts, named xxxDesigner, which are linked to ... nothing ! What do they mean ? I must add that the only option which I selected was the association with gcb files ...
Thanks for any answer.

PCMDesigner and CLCDesigner are two tools. If you did not select during the install... they are not mean to have empty icons. Needs to be sorted at the next relesase. Which is next month.
PCMDesigner
The PSMC peripheral is a sophisticated programmable switch mode controller
intended to operate power conversion applications with little or no software
intervention. The peripheral capabilities range from simple, single channel PWM
generation to multi-channel complementary waveforms with dead bands between
transitions. PWM modes include:
• PWM
• Push-Pull
• Full-bridge
• Push-Pull Full-bridge
• Pulse skipping
• High resolution fixed duty cycle
• 6-step 3-phase operation
Every mode, except the 6-step, has a complementary output mode, which drives at
least two channels that are the complement of each other.
The PSMC also supports various driver and feedback configurations with the following
programmable features:
• Dead band – delays the output drive for a time after the complement of that output
turns off
• Blanking – Suppresses feedback signals for a time after the drive transitions on
and off
• Asynchronous inputs – pulse Start and Stop events can be triggered by external
asynchronous signals in combination with, or independent of, an internal time
base
• Shutdown – immediate safe shutdown driven by an external asynchronous Fault
signal
• Modulation – the PWM can be operated as a carrier and modulated by an
independent input
There are thirty Special Function Registers (SFRs) in the PSMC configuration setup.
Setting all thirty registers with the appropriate values for desired operation can be a
daunting task. The PSMC Designer GUI was created to simplify that effort.
The GUI divides the PSMC into up to eleven major functions. These functions are
shown in relation to each other in block diagram format in the main GUI window.
Clicking on a block opens the control GUI for that function. The user is guided through
the PSMC configuration design by completing signal paths and control options within
each function by selecting switch positions. Entry boxes for times and frequencies
appear within the diagrams where numeric entry is required.
CLCDesigner
CLC module is more limited in its functionality and interconnect than a PAL (Programmable
Array Logic). The CLC module is not intended as a replacement for a PAL, but
offers value in the reduction of external glue logic, faster event response, and custom
interfacing. For designers that are familiar with PAL design (and synthesis/timing tools
associated with such technology), use of the CLC module entails a design methodology
similar to that of introductory logic courses. The “CLC Designer” tool allows edits
to one module at a time.
Because the number of CLC modules per device varies, this technique limits the
designer to the number of resources available on that particular chip. Further, direct
design of the logic and interconnect keeps the designer visually aware of the signal and
logic limitations of the CLC peripheral.

Thanks for the informations ...
Pleasure - good question.
CLC is very good. I have, and do, use.
PCM. Someone smarter than me must have a use for it.
