Jattie, Thanks for the attachments. Being one of the low budget amateurs
planning to learn about PICs cheaply I found them useful. Whilst I can
understand peoples annoyance at the attachments I have seen far worse
breaches of internet "best practice". Don't take the flames to heart,
put any future files on an FTP server (try Andy Harrington at the
University of Lancaster who may oblige as he seems a friendly bloke) and
get on with life. It is often the case that those that shout loudest
about mistakes are some of the worse offenders when it suits their aims.
I must say that this mailing list is pretty well behaved compared with
some I subscribe to.
