Nobody down here in South Africa seems to. I am getting fairly fed up
with Microchip's vapourware and the way they keep their agents in the
dark (unless the communications problem is on Pace's side, which
might not be all that unlikely either). In the last month I have been
told 1 week, within next two weeks and finally about a week ago the
story changed to 2 months or so. Of course this has been going on since
mid 1997.

Just a pity the devices work so well once you get them - no way I'm giving up on
PICs...
