Years ago, I saw a program (a .com) that could be entered by COPY CON HEX2BIN.COM Some guy had figured out how to write the program by mapping instruction opcodes to ASCII keystrokes! So after you typed that in, you could, in fact COPY CON BINARY.HEX HEX2BIN < BINARY.HEX > BINARY.COM Yeah! That's a real programmer! Is this where I brag about writing Win32 app's in MASM? --- James Newton (PICList Admin #3) mailto:jamesnewton@piclist.com 1-619-652-0593 PIC/PICList FAQ: http://www.piclist.com or .org -----Original Message----- From: pic microcontroller discussion list [mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU]On Behalf Of andy howard Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2000 11:18 To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Re: [OT] "Best" Editor (was: "Syntax Highlighting in MPLAB") > From: "M.
