    Thanks for the solution it seems to be working great.

    I know there have been a few announcements recently about copyright protections, does anyone know if it is legal to post the solution for others to use? Walter and I both seem that we should be able to, but I want to make sure I'm following the rules.

    I think that Mechanique SHOULD let us, since it is just the hex files for the mcLoader. And since their update does not seem to update the hex files for most people, it seems like they should be made available. No one can do a thing with them without the mcloader executable, so as long as that was not posted, it seems like it would be good customer service to make the hex files available.

    However, since I do not see any postings of any of their mcloader hex files, I am assuming this is a no-no.

    I thought Charles was just on the MeLabs side of things and that Mechanique was a different company all together? Pardon my ignorance, but who is Jeff? (No offence Jeff).

    Unfortunately Mecanique doesn't seem to respond to any emails based on my experience and other threads I've read here in the forum. On their website they claim they will provide custom loader files free of charge. However if they had done that, then Walter wouldn't have needed to help me out in the first place. Oh Well

    I went ahead and wrote Mechanique. We will see what they say.
