Thanklesscracy? :-) Having run a Compuserve forum for a number of years, I know just how much fun it isn't... there are times when you can feel pleased with a job well done, but they are far too few to be the "reward" for doing it. I take my hat off to James and the others, and I hope I don't cause them any more trouble than necessary! :-) Cheers, Howard Winter St.Albans, England -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
