So are there plans to add the SimpleIDE code links to items in the Parallax Store like there is for the Stamp IDE and PropTool?

    My guess would be that once there is PropGCC or SimpleIDE code for an item in the store, links will appear. What a great opportunity for the community to dig and and start writing code in PropGCC, your chance to be famous as a product demo provider!!

    Yea, I do not see that happening any time soon!! The last time I made a header (.h) file was in the early 90's (DOS 5/Windows 3.11). I was using Borland's Turbo C back then. I created a 3 page .h file that contained Import Tariff rates for ALL the major trucking companies that the company I worked for at the time used. I wrote a C program that calculated our shipping rates based on carrier used, zone and weight of the shipment. The user would put in number of pallets, each pallets HxLxW and weight, destination zone and carrier and it would calculate the cubic feet of the shipment (LxWxH/1728) and the freight costs based on Import Tariff pricing, which was a reduced charge because we imported more than 50% of our product. Shortly after I finished, the rates changed!!! Major pain!! A year later I left and the company did not want to buy the program from me so I took it with me. (Yes, I created it on my own time since I was the Manager and wanted an easier way to calculate charges.) As I am typing this I am thinking I wish I would have hung on to that code as it was my first ever attempt at programming and I was quite proud of it!!!!
