Alan,
     You are correct about the software for the PC side being dated and=20
obsolete. What is needed is the PIC programs because Myke did not put=20
the complete programs in the book. He only put in parts or parts of=20
pseudo code. The complete programs are on the CD. No CD, no PIC=20
programs, So you only have part of the book.
Thanks,
rich!
