Maybe I skipped some of the messages in this thread too quickly, but I
think the word 'Java' has not fallen!
I have written a programmer in Java to progam some specific
(modelrailroad control) devices equiped with 16F873's in LVP mode via
a parallel or serial port.  It has been tested under OS/2 Warp and W98,
and I suppose it will run under Linux, maybe even on Mac.
Anyway essentially it is platform independent.
I may consider making it more general purpose. But if it is suitable
for the PBK, I cannot tell. I'm a beginner with PICs myself, but a
rather experienced in programming.

Regards, Rob.
