Is this enough??? That depends. Will the workaround take longer to code than the wait for fresh parts? That's another consideration. It's totally up to you to decide the path, I am curious if there has been any determination that a software routine will do just as well under the circumstances or not. It just seems like more work than it's worth, but if you are willing to do it, good luck. Jeff -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
