Jay modified a comment on discussion BASIC-256 Users
Richard, I've only just started using the language and was using an older version of the book. I will be sure to read the updated version - thanks!

Richard, I've only just started using the language and didn't know about the include statement - thanks!

Hi Jim, I appreciate that Basic256 isn't designed for large programs, but something which supports modularity would be very welcome. It doesn't have to be sophisticated, just the ability to load previously written subroutines into the current program would be good enough. Anyway, thanks for all your work on Basic256, it's awesome.

Thanks all for the feedback and advice. I'm going with the pickit 2 as I won't be using any of the newer chips and reports are that it's more reliable than pickit 3. I've successfully built gcbasic on my old 32bit netbook running Debian stable. @ Anobium, I will get your PICkitPlus for Linux; do I need to install any additional libraries for it to work?

Thanks for the feedback. Never heard of LGT, and I can't find much info on them online either. Regarding my specific enquiry about PIC/AVR, it seems to me that PICs are easier to use with gcbasic and there is more documentation and tutorials about them online, so I think I'll go with PIC and the pickit2 programmer. I'm not really interested in boards like arduino and will be sticking to mainly 8 pin chips.

I'd like to get into microcontrollers and stumbled across gcbasic which seems an easy way to get started, especially as I already use freebasic. I'm using a debian based distro (Q4OS) and have successfully installed gcbasic but I'm unsure as to whether to go for pic or avr. Am I right in assuming that gcbasic has better (more mature) support for pic? Also, there is the issue of hardware. Would I be better off going for the pickit 2 or pickit 3? They are both cheaply available from Ebay although not...

Regarding the syntax highlighting problem, I removed the Debian package and successfully compiled the latest version with gtk3 so it's all good now. The build instructions in the user guide are very clear, which makes a nice change. :-).

Thanks very much, Allin. By the way, gretl is awesome. I was looking for data analysis software and after trying R and Octave I stumbled upon gretl. I love the combination of gui, editor and console, and am very impressed with hansl which is very easy to learn and surprisingly fast. Update: I renamed the file you linked to as "gretl.lang" and put it in /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/, overwriting the file I got from https://sourceforge.net/p/gretl/git/ci/3c456b7e54615cb79ba013bb33768f44cc7d0fbb/tree/gui2/gretl.lang...

Hi Sven, yeah it seems like a Debian bug then. My immediate problem is that I don't have a complete syntax file. I did actually try to compile the source code but it failed so I can't generate the file. Never mind, I guess I can manually add the missing keywords to the gretl.lang I linked to in my post.

Missing syntax file for hansl

Many thanks.

I've installed the latest psl version of reduce on Linux (using the deb package) and it runs fine from the command line using "redpsl" but I'm wondering if there is any switch to start a GUI version, or is there no GUI which comes with this version? Thanks.

Thanks! All good now.

I guess us Linux folks have a bit more work to do because I thought gcbasic generated...

I'm also just getting started on Linux and have successfully installed gcbasic (version...

Thanks Anobium for the link, but that thread seems to be mainly about Wine issues...

I'm new to programming microcontrollers although I've been using freebasic for some...
