Digitalrice.com offers exactly what you are asking for, but there's one catch, their home page at http://www.digitalrice.com takes you to a 404 web page. But have no fear the 404 page has a sign-up link. The kicker is the sign-up link is also 404. It might not hurt to check there periodically. -Mike http://mdipper.digitalrice.com > From: Thomas McGahee [mailto:tom_mcgahee@SIGMAIS.COM] > > OK, I have finally given up on both Redrival and Freeservers. > I had been hosting my PIC related files such as PICUART.ASM, > my KEYPAD project, and my PIC Digital Capacitance Meter, along > with my homemade LCD font files on these sites in recent > weeks, but both of them have gone belly-up for one reason > or another. > > I REALLY need a decent website where I can give my files a > home. > > I have already spent over five hours today rummaging around > on the internet looking for a good free website, but after > checking out more than 60 sites, it seems that all of them > had one or more bad qualities. > > This is what I need: > > * Has to be absolutely free, with no hidden strings attached. > > * At least 20 MB of disk space.
