Tjaart,
            for those of us without an electronics background (OK so
you might ask what on earth are we doing on PICLIST -in my case the
answer is 'Learning!') would you live to explain further the naming
of Vdd, Vcc etc.

>The PIC's are CMOS devices (That's why the power pins are markedVdd & Vss
> instead of Vcc and Vee),

Apologies for the off-topic bandwidth - hopefully one or two succinct
responses will enlighten me (and other electronics neophytes) without
infuriating others.
