Joe,

I tried to do this, got nowhere in about an hour.
Recently, though, my project manager has been very
generous and bought me an Icepic and a Rice16... and
the Icepic software (version 1.5.38 available on
Microchip's web site) contains a sample excel spreadsheet
for controlling the Icepic - maybe this contains some
answers...?

I've not really used the Icepic or the Rice16 in anger
yet, so I can't really comment on which is better.
I will say that there's nothing intrinsically
wrong with either, both seem to be perfectly
capable professional development tools. A Picmaster
with MPLAB is the best I've used, though, no question.



- Andy.
