Like wise in thanks to Olin. It certainly helped me in my first PIC project
which has 5 PIC's talking on an isolated I2C bus, with a number of other I2C
devices as well.

However in itself it does not stop you making some "Doh" mistakes!! :) But
it does certainly help to reduce the possibility of bank and page memory
problems, along with many useful macros.

IIRC Olin only claims it will run on NT based machines. For your home
install you may be better off going down to your local computer fair or
whatever and see if you can get a copy of NT4 workstation. I have it running
on W2K ok but then I do have local administrator rights on my machine.
