I feel the need to contribute on this thread. The more experienced, or more involved with JAL developement may wish to take note or ignore this post.
I am new to JAL and PIC programming but not to Programming or digital electronics. It is safe to say that I would never have made the jump to PIC programming without JAL or Bert's book. Through Bert's book, I have moved from blinking an LED to minor intelligent motor control (not using PWM actually!!) to serially interfacing a GSM modem with a printer within the space of about 6 weeks! Not bad for a beginner! But the issue remains of the non-standardisation of the language at present. I have ( as no doubt many other before me ) made the move from Berts library examples and tutorials to the Jallib library files and structure. The developement skills and knowledge of senior members of this group are incredible and I admire their intellect and commitment. Converting code from examples in Bert's book to Jallib friendly code can be annoying and frustrating especially for those new to PIC programming (like myself sometimes!!) I do feel that this group could be a little more friendly toward the newcomers seeking advise and guidance.

What I learned was: - The starterspack is free for non-commercial use. - The examples from the book are downloadable, but can't be used or republished due to IP limitaions. - Encloses is a 'superprogram' that Bert uses for regression testing of his starterspack. We can use this program but he would appreciate if we mention he is the source. - He has a positive attitude to the conversion document initiatieve, won't contribute but does want to add a link to it from his website. - He thinks that the main difference between his pack and jallib is the use of defaults for 12 pics. If Bert is right on the point, we might provide a file with the all defaults of the jallib equivalents of bert's libs and maybe also a list of the approperate includes. This would give a 2-step transfer: 1. include the super-include and change all function calls from bert to jal format. 2. move the required part of the super-include to you program and remove the super include itself. I'll try to find some time to see what it takes to get the regression test compiled with jallib...
