Olin - your directions for installing PICDEV were extremely clear and very easy to follow. Thanks for making it so easy! Guess what I get to play with this weekend! I also installed the project files as well: HAL, HOS, Chess and Wave but I'm not sure that my assumptions were valid. The install packages had the same directory structure as the main dev package so I assumed that they all installed in the same directories. In the case of duplicate file names, I kept the files with the most recent date. It looks as if only one of those has changed: the PICDEV package contained a larger version of "file.msg". Since it was also the most recent file date, I just kept it. However, I'm not convinced that I made the right choice. Should I have created separate child sub-directories off of SOURCE for each project? In other words, should I have created a directory called 'c:\embedinc\source\hal' for the HAL source files? Right now, all the source code files are in a directory called 'c:\embedinc\source\pics'.
