Building the source and then running it is only one of many things you might want to do with source code. My original point was that much software that is generally considered "open source" has restrictions on what you can do with it. If software under the GPL is "open source", then you have to allow that my USBProg software is also open source. ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
