Is there a forum for GCB@SYN where users can post observations/requests/bugs?
GCB@SYN is a compilation of several software components. For the main part, the SynWrite editor, there is a forum at http://synwrite.sourceforge.net/forums/
For everything related on GCBasic here is the right place :-)

@Joe. Did you relating to the GCB specific build of SynWrite called GCB@SYN?
I could easily add a new forum for GCB support software and tools. This could address areas like:
Pickit2
Pickit3
GCB@SYN.
GCB Converters (these are the barely documented GCB add-ins).
etc.
Is this what you are thinking?

I have been using the second manual lately as it has the later version number. I see that the manual available from the first link is the one on the GCB homepage so I should probably be using that one. I also see that it has some information on using the PICKit 2 which the v1.2 one does not have.

This is great but a bit confusing because GCB@SYN is on the stable page yet now contains the hot release while at the same time the hot release is still on the unstable page.
Should the hot release now officially become the stable release and any changes going forward should start a new hot release?

From looking at the stdbasic.h file, the correct syntax is:
PulesIn pin, variable, units
So the example is clearly wrong and needs to be corrected.
Pulsein only supports positive pulses and and could be made much more diverse if there were another configuration variable for "polarity" since many of pulses to be measured are negative or low going pulses.
This would be quite simple to add.

Is there a place where we can post questions and/or corrections to the GCB Programming Manual, v 1.2?
Create a new posting in the Help forum, thank you.
Please attach the original document.

Where is the manual are you referring to?
I have one that was written under a similar title so I'm curious if you are referring to that.
I have downloaded two manuals. One is the manual accessible at this link:
http://www.greatcowbasic.com/uploads/9/2/9/8/9298268/gcb_chipino_user_manual_v1.0_-_sample.pdf
The other manual is available at this link:
http://www.greatcowbasic.com/uploads/9/2/9/8/9298268/greatcowbasic_programming_manual_v1_2.pdf
I have been using the second manual lately as it has the later version number. I see that the manual available from the first link is the one on the GCB homepage so I should probably be using that one. I also see that it has some information on using the PICKit 2 which the v1.2 one does not have.
Yeah, those are mine. Just send anything you find to chuck@elproducts.com.
Thanks.
Thanks. I will be posting on the Help section about the little errors I find.
Thank you. All feedback is good feedback. I am currently updating the Help with the new functionality so this is very timely .
Posting to the help and emailing Chuck could be great.

I didn't realize he was already posting to the help page when I sent my email. You can keep posting to the help site, I'll get it from there.
Website and links have been updated to reflect this release. I have uploaded all changes to the website to SourceForge.

This is great but a bit confusing because GCB@SYN is on the stable page yet now contains the hot release while at the same time the hot release is still on the unstable page.

Good point. I have corrected the words on the web pages. GCB@SYN now only refers to the release date.
Hello!
The command pulseIn in example in Help file is correct???
the command : PulseIn pin, variable, time units
but the example:
chip 12F629, 4
config INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT
Dir GPIO.0 In
Pulsein TimeResult GPIO.0, 1 sec
(!!!! here: PulseIn variable pin, time units)
?????
From looking at the stdbasic.h file, the correct syntax is:
PulesIn pin, variable, units
So the example is clearly wrong and needs to be corrected.
Pulsein only supports positive pulses and and could be made much more diverse if there were another configuration variable for "polarity" since many of pulses to be measured are negative or low going pulses.
This would be quite simple to add.
