Point taken. But implicates MS. How?? The RTOS and the compiler development tools are from a far-from- microsoft vendor, and the code is developed on SUN workstations running UNIX. There's not a Microsoft tool in the box anywhere. The processor (IBM Power PC design in a Radiation-Hardened chip technology) has never run Windows except in emulation, and that was a disaster I was real close to. Jeez, I wonder why they have zero MicroSoft Wares ?? -- Regards, Terry King ...In The Woods In Vermont "The one who dies with the most parts LOSES! What do you need??"
