        I DID successfully download the latest promat software, though I
had to use the DOS promate program to do it.  The one in MPLAB 4.0
continues to give error messages after transmitting a little bit of the
code.
        I haven't checked it ALL out yet, but it appears that the DOS
PROMATE program is not being updated any more.  I don't know if the
device files for it are the same as for any other interface, but I need
to program the 16c74b, and it's not (currently) a choice on my DOS
promate software.  Maybe I can find a device file for it.
        However, it WOULD be nice to get the download to promate out of
MPLAB working!
        I'm running Windoze 3.11 with the promate on COM2.  I turned off
the FIFO on COM2 in the system.ini, as suggested in the MPLAB help.
Still not working yet...
