Our next project, is 18F452 based with ethernet and serial eeprom to store .swf
file for remote configuration and control. Client can be any pc with flash
player plugin or stand alone flash player.

Some of the nice things about swf format,

        1. being vector based the display scales quite nicely to suit
           smaller or larger displays

        2. The swf format is "open" (well, as open as it needs to be.)

        3. The swf file format is quite compact.  I could give you some
           examples, but since you don't have the flash player....

        4. The player is widely deployed,  415,000,000 according to macromedia.

We tried a similar project with java last year, and while we eventually
succeeded, the lack of compatability across class libraries and general
lack of adherence to standards (mainly microsoft ie) was a major stumbling block.

This time around we are using flash. If you can suggest a viable alternative
I would be most interested.
