having some problems with the files from your current development 
environment, using the files dated 14 Sept.

having nothing that was specifically needed in the old embedinc directory, I 
cleaned it out of all folders and files, and started afresh, with a new 
install.

If I install just the "install_picdev" and run "make_pic_project" with 
suitable args then I get the following messages.

******************** End of Command Window *****************

If I then install the public source, all the error messages except the ones 
about build_qqq_expic.bat go away, as the other files are included in this 
package. Unfortunately the build_qqq_expic file doesn't seem to be in either 
package.

It would seem prudent to have all these missing files in the picdev package, 
so people not wishing to have the public source installed can make a 
complete development installation without needing to install the public 
source package as well.

The other problem I have is if an attempt is made to create a project in a 
directory that is a subdirectory of a directory name that has spaces in it 
(e.g. "C:\Documents and Settings\") as the batch files cannot handle the 
spaces, and separate the words, attempting to use them as commands. I don't 
know if there is anything that can be done about this when using batch 
files, I haven't attempted to modify them to include the directories in 
quotes or anything like that, but this is a minor annoyance that can be 
worked around.

Thank you for your largesse in allowing us to use your development 
environment.
