1. You require from others that they provide you (for free) something 
that is usefull according to your rules. Then if you post on a forum, 
*you* might invest some time into the rules and mechanisms of that
forum.
You might have discoverd that we use tags here, [PIC] being the most
used and the one appropriate to your posting. Without it you post will
be seen by only a fraction of the people that would see it with the
tag.

I dunno what internet you searched for your intel, but remotes that
operate at 40 kHz are a rare breed. 36 and 38 kHz are the most common.

You are aware that there are all types of remotes, often with their own 
protocol? There are some that are more common than others (for 
instance RC5), but as you state it you are asking for an interpreter 
that can translate "a text" for you. Though luck finding one.

I partly agree with you, but you must keep in mind that comments can
only
be usefull for a specific public, a you might not fit the public the 
author had in mind when he wrote the comments. Or maybe you did not
search
well enough. Or all PIC code writers are totally stupid. Choose what you
think is most probable.

So go head, write it, document it well, and make it public. James will
happily provide you an internet page for it (in fact he provides you
the means to make one yourself, on his server).

Or are you of the kind that asks everything but never gives?

PS Your claim made me curious, so I googled "ir receive code pic". 
The first hit is a quite adequately commented project. I did not
feel like looking any further.
