And no, I'm not asking you specifically, just > wondering in general. Actually, that was what James asked in the first place. And it's a good question. There are two things that could make it worth while: 1. It being a standard, which sells cheap. 2. It having something that is not available on most tools. That is why I proposed a logic analyser (yes, Byron, both spellings are acceptable. One is common British, one is common American. As far as spelling goes, Canada falls in the middle; we use what we want) attached to the target. It would be a very nice feature. But as I expect not to pull a wave of consensus up behind that idea, I'm going to stop waving it around now. I just want to point out that while the Designer has good points, I figure that the IPDE (Integrated PIC development Environment) has a lot going for it too. It gives a lot of functionality that would be great to have. But now, I suppose that I'm, thinking about what I would want rather than what is good for a newbie. - --Brendan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.8 for non-commercial use iQA/AwUBPVPtWgVk8xtQuK+BEQIzdwCfXWsTKELZDtTPRVAzVeG502nO518An2ij 196wAhvr9yZ3vveJTsHm+YHT =jRj/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
