OK here I go again sticking my neck out as a newbie!!
What we appear to have within this group is a vast amount of technical knowledge and expertise (certainly far beyond my own) about a language that doesn't have a standardised instruction set or manual. Because of the numerous versions of lbraries for various functions, the structure of the language imediately loses integrity. Vast amounts of work have been and obviously are still being put into developing libraries to accomodate the vast diversity of requirements. The outline language JAL has a common structure which is (for most programmers) easy to understand and work with. The backbone of libraries do not seem to have a common methodolgy to facilitate universal integration. Without a garaunteed library 'plug-in' system with standardised JAL language calls, we will always be left with a piecemeal solution to PIC programming problems. Just my view at this time............I stand to be corrected!

A site without clutter, with clear cut layout is what would make a difference. Do you know the amount of traffic I get on jal.sunish.net which is a crappy broken outdated site, but has the old jal and pjal manuals. A full fledged site with good design is badly needed for JALV2. A wiki or blog has its own purpose, but may not serve as a beginner.

Could be part of a wiki. ----- I just had a peak at the source code :-) Horrible :-D I think Joep ?? wrote it. And he did it with OpenOffice! Styling isn't that hard, it's just CSS code. But it is hard when every line of the code contains styling-parameters. 1 general CSS file is a whole lot better, but that means the entire code has to be rewritten. I actually found some new, interesting and understandable things in this document. But then again I also saw things I didn't understand at all. A volatile variable for example... I've never used it before in Bert's book :-) Toon --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jallib" group.
