I have just looked in the bootloader, this is a good sample to go by, right? well, they have not changed all the pins to input, they only changed 4 to output, which re d1-d4, and also, they changed some pins to input, which is strange,because they should be inputs anyway. Then in one place they notice it and rem it out "it is already one bla bla" - inconsistent style? -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
