Dave,
How do you know where in the hex file the oscillator setting is? I was proud of myself because I could count to ten in hexadecimal, but now I'm just amazed that you could decipher that. You gave me a good idea though, David could go under View in the EPIC programmer window, and post exactly what the configuration is set to, and then look under Options as Bruce suggests in the other post regarding the re-read file setting.

Jerry.
