I was also wondering this, I have seen a way to do it on a C84 but not the F84... it would be realy nice.... have my program on a PIC for example and lost the original program in a hard drisk failure. thats just one example of the many legit reasons for it. anyway I belive there is something on the picbasic mailing list FTP.... someone remind me of the address maybe ftp.quenos.net/picbasic-l/ ??? sorry if thats a non working address people... maybee someone else knows. >How can i read out the code from a proteted PIC 16F84 ? > >Peter >--- >Sent through Global Message Exchange - http://www.gmx.net >
