Step Over doesn't work. 3. Sometimes it just crashes, and subsequent starts cause the same crash. 4. Assembling in ICD mode expects the target boards to be attached, sits there for a while, and pops up that dialog. 5. P.O.S. is a 16 bit app! 6. Requires 8.3 filenames!! 7. The Options settings aren't saved in the .pjt file. 8. Trace Points doesn't work in ICD mode. --there's more, but that's a few that come to mind-- hg _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
