Congratulations on getting your PIC programmer going.  I guess if
you look carefully at your software there is really very little
that is Sun dependent.  You have gone a long way in implementing
"phase 2" of the machine independent universal PIC programmer
project.  But, and this goes to the heart of the problem I was
trying to address, how did you program the PIC in your PIC
programmer?

P.S.  I would be very interested in receiving more information on
your project.
