There are also icd3cmd for ICD 3 as well. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microchip\MPLABX\mplab_ide\bin>pk3cmd /?

Help Screen Not Shown Each option must be immediately preceeded by a switch, Which can be either a dash <-> or a slash and options must be separated by a single space. Commands and their parameters are not case sensitive. Commands will be processed according to command order of precedence, not the order in which they appear on the command line. The program will return an exit code upon completion which will indicate either successful completion, or describe the reason for failure. --=20 Xiaofan --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
