Congrats to BST!

I've recently switched over to Linux (Ubuntu) on a computer I use often, and downloaded BradC's multiplatform tool. This isn't my programming computer, as it isn't mine, but I thought it would be worth having since it was there. I was surprised to see how many MORE features it had then the Parallax tool! It gives you so many more options, and operates the same. I honestly didn't expect so much out of a free program, so it was a pleasant surprise. Since it can work on multiple platforms, I will also attempt to install this on my programming computer that runs Windows.

Thanks BradC!

Also, switching to Ubuntu must have also been good, because ever since I installed it, even so that you could still boot Windows, no one who has used the computer has.

    Yes, Brad's bst has some great additions and the conditional compiles and warning messages are a fantastic addition. So is the automatic switch to the terminal window after the download.

    Inspired by your praise, I downloaded the BST tonight on my iMac just so I could read SPIN code on it when I'm away from my clunky, crappadilapidated Windows computers. And I must say the BST looks pretty cool on my iMac. Maybe I'll even try to download some code to a Propeller with my iMac, now that I got this BST godsend up and running so easily. What a totally cool thing that would be.

    Thanks, Brad! :)

    I really like it myself, as I like to use it on Linux Mint. If there was one more thing I could ask for it would be a side library easy to access like the windows version. Currently, I have to copy/paste off of windows then on Linux I have to again copy/paste whatever objects I need and paste them in the same folder as my current code.

    I thought everyone already jumped boat and was using BST instead of PropellerTool... Well be amazed everyday :)
