First of all , Tim is right..... there are several FREE vxd device drivers for both the serial and the parallel port under NT that Microchip could have used to write MPLAB for some reason they choose not to do so. Second, I find it less than pleasing if people start hacking at each other for having a less than perfect knowledge of the English language. This is after all a list that is free for all (I didn't even see any statement other languages may not be used). Do you seriously think most AMERICANS on the list have this knowledge talk to a brit and see what he thinks about it.
