I use MPLAB 4.00.00 everyday, seldom if ever crashes - yes I'm using Windows 95 and Windows 98 (still dreaming of the Linux box (I just don't have a couple of months to get it installed correctly :-0)). However, since Micro-chip hasn't updated their home page web site since October, I just wonder when the next release of MPLAB is going to be available !? Ralph When everything else comes crashing down around you, you must be using Windows!
