Version 6.12 is what I've been using for the past couple of weeks. It is far from complete. Things are done pretty much completely different from the 16 bit version. Some things are better, some things worse. I have found no outright bugs yet but there are certainly many things I don't like. Case in point: the new version seems to hide stuff that used to be readily available. OSCCAL bits are not visible - you can't change them, you can't even view them. Controls seem to be scattered all over the place - stuff that affects the debugger or emulator is NOT all gathered in one easy to locate area but instead spread throughout the whole MPLAB interface, often hidden several levels inside functions that you would not normally think off. Help functions are a joke. My opinion, for what its worth, is to get the current version, use it, then start giving feedback to Microchip. I think that is the only way were going to get a useable version. It *is* the future - Microchip needs our feedback to make it a future we enjoy using. dwayne -- Dwayne Reid Trinity Electronics Systems Ltd Edmonton, AB, CANADA (780) 489-3199 voice (780) 487-6397 fax Celebrating 19 years of Engineering Innovation (1984 - 2003) .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .-. .- `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' Do NOT send unsolicited commercial email to this email address.
