I have a problem with MPLAB that I haven't seen anyone else experience. I
obtained (without any trouble) mplab309.exe and the associated help files
from the 'int-rel' directory on mchipbbs.microchip.com. I took it home
and pkunziped it to a directory, my OS is win95 by the way. Upon clicking
the file in Explorer, a MSDOS window opened up saying:

        'Run this file using File or Program Manager'

Trying to run it direct from a MSDOS prompt (with windows detection
enabled) or even using the 'Run..' command were answered identically.
Anybody got any ideas, or will mplab309.exe only run under win3.1?

Also, in mid-May there was I lot of chat on this list concerning
real-time OSes on PICs - around the time I subscribed to the list. I am
now very interested in learning a bit more about this and would be very
grateful if some of you who have experience in this area may give me a
few helpful pointers. The PIC is the topic of my MSc dissertation so
quite high-level stuff.

Thanks.

J.W.
