> I wonder if you're a " real programmer", AFAIK "Serial RS232 is > legacy" ;-) Real programmers don't even know how to spell the word leggacy, let alone know what it means! *Real* programmers write in assembler! (if that). When they wish (or was it that way back then assemblers weren't available?), real programmers can write directly in machine language.

Seymour, needless to say, is a Real Programmer. ____________________ 8E 7F FF C6 08 86 00 CE 00 00 ..... -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
