<<  I am right now working on a serial RS-232 line with my PIC. I think my
code
 works fine, I just need a tool for testing it. Therefore: Do any of you
 have a small program for the PC (basic or something else) which will make
 me able to send single ASCII-codes via the COM-port to the PIC. I have
 tried to fix a basic program myself, but I am not very good a basic, so it
 will not work out the way I want it.

If you are running Win3.1 you can use the Terminal Program or if using Win95
you can use Hyperterminal. We have used both of these for that purpose with
great success.
