Yup,


I couldn't get RealTerm to work properly either, I get garbage chatacters echoed back, and nothing goes to the PIC. HypeTerminal (R intentionally left out) is worse, I don't get any feedback at all.

I've been using the serial window from Studio Plus and it looks like the best solution for me. I copy my datafile from NotePad, paste in the SEND window, CLICK, and away it goes. I lose out on some of the echo at the bottom of the file, but I don't really care. I also display on the LCD and the last records seem to be there.

So now I'm going to write a program to read back from EEPROM. It's a link list database, so I have to write the code to follow through all the pointers and display the data back on the PC; using HSEROUT should not be a problem at this point.

It's not a perfect solution, 2400 BAUD ain't something to brag about, but it seems to work. Since this download will not be used often, that suits me fine. As long as it works reliably, I'm happy.
