Dear All,

I'm sure this question has been asked by a great deal of people...

I've just started writing my thesis for the project and it would be
awful
handy to know what 'PIC' actually meant. Is it an acronym? What does it
mean? etc. etc.

Can anybody (i.e. Andy Warren or Microchip) help?

Thanks.

J.W.
