  No plans, they feel releasing the bytecode would open a can of worms from a support perspective that they don't want to deal with. I dont fully understand your second question.

  1. We never released a document on PBASIC tokens -- there was a 3rd party book, but we neither contributed to or endorsed it.
  2. We will ultimately release command-line compilers for WinXP, Mac, and Linux, just as we've done with the BASIC Stamp tokenizer. This will allow you to create 3rd party development tools as you desire.

  Paul, Jon - thanks.
  
  I thought the content here was Parallax's - I must be wrong

  That IS parallax's stuff, but...
  
  No place in the docs for the tokenizer will you find a list of the tokens.
  In addition, the PBASIC interpreter on the Stamp is protected and can't be easily read out, so you can't reverse engineer it.
  
  The Propeller and Spin, though...
  The Spin Interpreter can be read out by any program running on the Propeller, but you'd still have to figure out how the Spin source matches up to the tokens and that's not a trivial task.

  Almost year has past since this post "2. We will ultimately release command-line compilers for WinXP, Mac, and Linux, just as we've done with the BASIC Stamp tokenizer. This will allow you to create 3rd party development tools as you desire. ", we have a python dl. any new news on the horizon?

  I have a command-line Spin compiler underway called SpinC. It's not ready to release yet but I think within a month or two I
  should be done. It's already on sourceforge (the project registration anyway, not the compiler). I'm hoping someone can
  help me integrate it with Eclipse once the compiler is finished.

  Yea, I picked through·the loader.spin, and managed to get the version from linux.. but the rest is tough.

  You'll always have as many take-offs as landings, the trick is to be sure you can take-off again ;-)

  I'm sure I'll add in loading functionality, so yes. Like I say though it's probably a month away.

  Heck, we've waited this long for Parallax, so another month or two won't hurt - cheers rokicki (won't hold you to the month tho!).
