Bob Lunn 11/11/97 04:40 PM Oh, BTW, if you want to look at Microchip's patents then go to: http://patent.womplex.ibm.com/boolquery.html then, in the first field selection box (showing the default setting 'Any Field') pull-down the menu and select 'Assignee'. Then, in the adjacent edit box type 'Microchip Technology Incorporated'. Then click 'search'. Enjoy ___Bob
