Kevin,

Thanks for your reply... I dusted off my Visual Studio and compiled the Visual Basic program VBTerm.vbp (from the MSDN library). Ran VBTerm and can get into the SMiRFv2 config... So far, so good... I haven't got the pair to recognize each other yet ("Remote Configuration Change Failed!"), I'm making progress...

[EDIT] Update: Everything is working fine now that Hyperterminal is not in the loop. Thanks again.[/EDIT]

Thanks for your help.

Sorry for a Stupid question;

I have added the printf.c/.h and the serial.c/.h (or whatever its called) to last years code. I added the following line to my user_routines (we call ours user_routine_1):

printf("hello world");

and got a syntax error.

then I added:

stdout = TWO;
printf("hello world");

and still got a syntax error, but on the printf line, not the stdout line.

Help

Ok, a question for Mr. Watson,

in your printf.c file there is the function parsing. What screen were you using when you parsed these.

I ask because while looking at the website you linked to, I was intrigued by the large letter screen, but I assume I would have to re parse?
