OK, I can understand that enough to see that some PICListers are still
looking at a site that hasn't been updated since November last year and
is way off line.

Please guys, set your pointers for Don's Workshop - DonTronics Home Page to:

Nice to see you still hard at it David. I'm trying to get Tom to update
my info too! I know he is flat out, but If I mention it as well, he may
do a 'mirror job' and look into it. :-)

Now that you have mentioned the 'publinks.htm', on this list, it will be
interesting to see how quickly it will grow.

Here is a recent message I sent to the PICList that answers this query:

Example output:

set piclist ack norepro
