Stig, I've designed a PIC16C77-based weather station that sends real-time
and recorded data to a PC via the serial port. I used VBasic. Amongst other
things it graphs temperatures and other parameters. I normally use C/C++ but
I was surprised at how easy it was to do the GUI in VBasic. I'm still using
VB4 Pro and I just used the built-in MSCOM control for the serial interface.

Let us say f.ex. 16C84? I'm interested in hearing from others if anyone have
tried it out earlier. I would like to make a program that collected data
from different sources and make a visual image of the results. (Example:
graphical output of the temperature every minute for twenty-four hours) I'm
a newbie at both PIC programming and VB programming, so I'll be happy to
hear from others.
