Thanks Al,

Having just read enough of that nonesense to really give me a headache, I'll just go back to using the trusty 12f675 chips. This stuff clearly does not need to be this complicated, with soooooo many niggly differences based on what Microchip was thinking on that particular day. For some of us (me particularly) I have 4 different telephony manufacturers worth of niggly data plugging my cells, and can't rmember 1/2 of that stuff I -need- every day!

Pics should be fun, not another reason to spend hours digging through freakin datasheets for that one bit of data that puts you back on track, or necessitating reams of posts to get supposedly "simple" stuff working.....

(Maybe it's time for a holiday)

Cheers
Gary
