If I'm not mistaken there is a 21 day full demo on PICC, I just looked last
night, http://www.htsoft.com/products/pic/ look at the bottom of the page.
Just enough time to get it done if you have it planned out before
downloading the demo.  If I get this done I'll have it turned in by January
14, otherwise It will have to wait until next summer.

 Jon,

 I too have thought seriously about making it work using assembly.
 I don't see the need for anything to have to be absolutely coded
 in 'C'.   Regardless of the application.   And I have been using
 assembly for a long enough time to be able to make the PIC do just
 about anything I want it to with only a little trouble.  So, if you
 want to work on this, count me in.   Let me know how you need me to
 do, and we'll go from there.


                                            Regards,

                                              Jim
