Myke,

Thanks for responding.

I hope I am not confusing your YAP with the YAPP, which I viewed at
Picpoints web page. I am not familiar with your programmer if they are not
the same.

My ideal programmer would work off the pc serial port so that I could have
about a 15' cable. I could also program a variety of devices, perhaps by
sending a text file to the programmer to set up pulse timming, ect.. and I
could send data and parameters with my serial port communications software
so that I could create my own programming environment and not have to depend
on the programmers proprietary software.

I have set up a nice little programming environmet using a serial com.
program and text editors, the assembler and batch files to bring them all
together for programming 68hc11s. I was hoping I could create the same type
of environment for pics.

Anyway, I am looking. I hope this is what I can do with your programmer.
Please let me know.

Thanks
John
