O.K - you win, I hereby pass over to you full ownership of this "simple" project. You may modify and or distribute any of the project files as you see fit. But first, you may want to correct the zip files that you have uploaded. Upon attempting to unzip them (I only tried the first two) winzip returns an error saying that there are no files to extract.

Mr. magu,

I am also having trouble unzipping the ZIP files. Maybe someone could help you to make the files available.

Hi,

If you open the files with a hex editor and you will see that
the files use the RAR file format.

* * *

Rename the files to filename.RAR and then
use WinRAR to decompress them.

Best regards,

Luciano

Well, I was about to delete this thread for reasons of plagerism, when I realized that Trent waived his rights to it.

Even so,

Magu,

I hope you realize that you didn't design this project.
Granted, you've done a lot of work building, troubleshooting, laying out a PC board, etc. But ...

It's only right for you to at least say that it was "Based on a Project by T. Jackson". No matter how you might feel personaly.

As an example, Tim Box and I have had a few problems in the past. But even some 5 years later, I still quite openly proclaim that he came up with the idea for "Instant Interrupts".

He didn't follow through and turn it into something usefull, that's what I did.
But his name will still remain there till the end of time.

I hope you'll consider it.

Well, I was about to delete this thread for reasons of plagerism.

Seems to be an increasingly new way of society. Just go and ripoff something on the net and claim it as your own. I had a guy on Planet Source Code come forward claiming to be the owner of one of my award winning pieces of work. Simultaneously, in the process, he was also submitting to the site some code that he had stolen from his previous victim's. Cut a long story short - I got this bugger in the end, he submitted a piece of work that could have only have been done by someone with a tremendous number of years experience. Whoever wrote this thing had to have had an IQ of 130+ This particular thief, even at the best of times, had great difficulty in completing even a few simple fragments of text without errors. I pointed this out to the staff on PSC, they then proceed to promptly remove him from the site. Normally their policy is; "we need evidence" - they made a special consideration in this instance.

Apparently, also, this person likes submitting ripped off hospital management software with a less than convincing plea for donations. Oh there's some lovely people on the internet.
