Just resending this message as my earlier attempt was rejected. (Shouldn't I receive a copy of my message to the PICLIST?) Ashkan Marami wrote asking where he could obtain the Embedded Controller Handbook in Australia or Singapore. It is available from Farnell Electronic Components, but it also looks like the '94 version is available by FTP at: ftp://ftp.ultranet.com/biz/mchip/lit/appnote as 00092c.pdf (2megs!!) I used Adobe Acrobat on a Mac to view it. (Sorry - don't know the PC requirements.) Cheers, Murray
