Until last week, I had been engaged in a long, lonely, and tedious struggle learning how to use Microchip controllers. Then I discovered PICLIST. To have so suddenly expanded my reach from this isolated lab to the unbelieveably wide PIC universe, has been exhilerating. Thank you for being there. I have been receiving a nice flood of communications, but have a growing sense that some items are repeated and some are not received at all. Is there anything I can do to improve capture? Also, I notice that some communications appear pretty badly chopped up and some do not. Is there a best format for submitting contributions so this does not happen? Stewart
