Program Template for using other slots in EEPROM
Archiver

FYI
For all those writing large programs as even I do, using all of the
available program slots is the key to compartmentalizing your program
into chunks easy to debug and grow if needed.
To make this easier for myself I use a starting template for large
programs which is easier to edit than create each time it is needed.
After seeing for several posts where users have had not yet learned
how to use the other slots, (if they only would read the manual) I
have posted eight files in:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/basicstamps/files/Program_slots/
which if downloaded into the same directory in your computer will
give you a starting place for large programs.
Open main code file in the Parallax editor and the rest will open as
well giving you access to all program slots. Please read all comments
and further look up all items, unknown in the manual for further
reading.
This should help those who have filled up slot 0.
All aside, Parallax has made a great product for those of us who wish
to get some useful work done on the cheap. Despite the "teasing" the
upcoming BSIII (if called that) is a great piece of work, having seen
some of the same things Jon has, sorry I can't tell... I only hope
the suggestions are taken to yet another level...
Using the slots in PBASIC as they are is a good learning tool for
doing assembly, which I'm just starting to do. Contrary to what
others may say, the basic design of micro chips leads to very
specific rules in writing or designing software for them.
If you don't like what your working with, then those who are so
negative are free to write what they like. Please show us !!!!
Thanks to Jon for the support and to all the Parallax crew, my thanks
as well.
